The minimal inhibitory concentrations of antituberculosis and antileprosy drugs were determined for Mycobacterium aurum. The concentrations that reduced the final yield of bacteriophage D29R1 by 50% and the time during the replication cycle at which the drugs completely inhibited phage production were estimated. THe 50% inhibitory concentration/minimal inhibitory concentration ratios were close to 1.0 for clofazimine, colistin, rifampin, and streptomycin; these ratios were high for dapsone (diaminodiphenylsulfone) and isoniazid. Ethambutol (minimal inhibitory concentration, 1.0 micrograms/ml) was without effect on viral growth.
