A simple punch-card file has been established to make the current antibiotic literature useful to research personnel engaged in isolation and identification of antibiotics. The coding outline is practical and adapted to the needs of people using the file. A similar file should be useful with the literature of other substances which are not easily classified by the conventional chemical coding system.

V a r i o u s methods are currently available for comparison of new w i t h known antibiotics. Comparison on the basis of antibacterial spectrum lacks specificity. The results of physicochemical tests on the antibiotic samples can be compared, but such a procedure is expensive and not adapted to a large number of samples. Comparison of paper chromatography results is probably the most routinely used method of identification. While this method is generally satisfactory, it too is not foolproof because of the influence of various factors on the location of zones. The fact that actual samples of the known antibiotics must be obtained for comparison is its chief limitation. The antibiotic literature file described i n this paper is an attempt to make the scientific literature useful as a tool for comparison of antibiotics, supplementing the methods mentioned above. Such a file does not permit final identification, but i t helps to narrow down the number of closely related substances. One of its chief advantages is the opportunity for comparison when actual samples are not available. The establishment of the file was justified by the continuing importance of antibiotic research, the great number of antibiotics reported, and the potential prevention of unnecessary laboratory work. The file was originally set up as a name file to supplement Baron's "Handbook of A n t i b i o t i c s " (1). This system was adequate as a collection of information, but, as the file grew, i t became too time-consuming to read each card i n order to compare properties listed with those of laboratory substances. The punched-card system was started so that antibiotics w i t h specific groups of properties could be separated for comparison. Machine-sorted cards were adopted because the equipment was readily available, and the number of punches desired was greater than could be handled on an edge-punched card, using a simple direct code. Coding Outline

The coding outline finally adopted (Table I) was worked out after much consultation with members of the biochemical and microbiological research departments. The primary consideration was usefulness for comparison purposes; many sections of the outline look peculiar when examined from a taxonomic or medical viewpoint. Undoubtedly many people w i l l disagree w!th this arrangement, even for comparison, but agreement is not necessary for use, as long as the user knows what is included in the various sections. The procedure for dealing with the antibiotic salts was one of the most difficult problems i n organizing the physicochemical part of the outline. The free form was selected i n order to have the broadest and most consistent basis for comparison, even though the free form is not often used for biological testing. A simple salt is recorded only when no chemical information can be found for the free form. However, it was undesirable to have sulfates, for example, coinciding with antibiotics containing organic sulfur when the cards were searched, or to have salts coinciding with 143

Standard IBM card

The possibilities for expansion of the code are indicated both i n the coding out line and i n the card reproduction ( F i g u r e 1). A l l numbers currently being used are punched; the unpunched areas show the space available for expansion. It i s , of course, very difficult to predict just where expansion w i l l be needed. A n effort has been made to leave columns free i n strategic places, and to leave space w i t h i n columns where further subdivision may become desirable. Master Card

Definite information and references supporting the groups punched on the I B M card are contained on the master cards (Figures 2 to 6 ) , which are related to the proper I B M card through the corresponding file number. E a c h card is a different color for quick location i n the files. The "Biological D a t a — i n v i v o " master card is not needed f o r a great many antibiotics.

MISCELLANEOUS: Possible mode of action* somewhat inhibits i n v i t r o the overall carbohydrate metabolism of T . eouiperdum. Its aminonueleosTde (an active com ponent) inhibits primarily The 0 consumption and pyruvate production. Effect of adenine sulfate indicates that the k i l l i n g mechanism involves purine metabolism rather than carbohydrate metabolism. (2)Sufigested that the antibiotic i s an antimetabolite of adenine and/or i t s analogs, and affects T . eouiperdum by interfering with purine metabolism and the synthesis sf nucleic acids or nucleoproteins.
