Altacyn was administered to 22 cases of genito-urinary tract infection. Excellent result was obtained in 7 cases which were mainly acute and chronic non-gonococcal urethritis, acute cystitis and epididymitis, Some improvement was seen in II cases. Altacyn was most sensitive in sensitivity test for bacteria, and Altacyn. 90.6%; kanamycin 87.5 %; chloramphenicol 62.5% ; erythromycin. 56.3%; sigmamycin, 50%; terramycin, 50%; streptomycin, 40.6%; and penicillin (28.2%) were the results of sensitivity. Eighty two percent of clinical effect was obtained in genito-urinary tract infection. Slight side reaction was observed in 7 cases out of 22 cases.
