Abstract

(1) In vitro sensitivity studies established a definite inhibitory effect by methyl and propyl paraben (para-hydroxy-benzoic acid) on 5 strains of yeast. (2) Methyl and propyl paraben are essentially non-toxic when administered orally, vaginally or rectally. (3) Methyl and propyl paraben are of value in preventing the overgrowth of C. albicans associated with aureomycin therapy. © 1951, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
