Abstract
An extremely high incidence of antibiotic or antibiotic-like inhibitory substances in 158 human milk samples is reported. Employing the disc assay method as recommended for cows' milk, 97% of the samples were found to be positive for inhibitory substances, and 46% positive for penicillin. The method may not be suitable for human milk because of naturally occurring (interfering) inhibitory substances. The possibility of the presence of dietary antibiotics should not be ruled out, however, this subject was not pursued further.
