All cultures contained 50 µg/ml kanamycin and 34 µg/ml chloramphenicol.

Do not take vitamin B12 if you are taking Chloramphenicol, because the two work at cross-purposes to one another.
Patients with Hib strains that are resistant to ampicillin may be given chloramphenicol.

The antibiotic, chloramphenicol and the anti-inflammatory, phenylbutazone are two examples.
The gene remained active by stimulating expression from a plasmid containing the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase gene under the control of the tat dependent promoter.
This is particularly worrying, as many drugs used to treat fish are also used in human medicine, e.g. tetracycline and chloramphenicol.
