Abstract
Pretreatment of rats and mice with meprobamate prior to inoculation with lethal doses of bacterial exotoxins and endotoxins resulted in a highly significant prolongation of life. However, the drug showed no effect on survival time in overwhelming infections induced by Diplococcus pneumoniae or Salmonella typhimurium. In Salmonella enteritidis infection, chlorpromazine increased the susceptibility of mice far more markedly than did meprobamate.
