Abstract: | Summary The resistance of 8 strains of Bacillus sphaericus and of 2 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (B.t.i.) to various antibiotics and antibiotic combinations were tested. All B. sphaericus strains were resistant to streptomycin, lincomycin and bacitracin, and six strains were resistant to combinations of these antibiotics. This antibiotic resistance could be utilised to establish selective media to identify and follow the fate of B. sphaericus and of B.t.i. in the field. |
