1. 5. A medium of claim 4 wherein the cephalosporin used to suppress growth of non-
coliform bacteria is Cefsulodin.
2. The rejection has been applied against claim 5. It should
have also applied to claims 4 and 23, on which claim 5
depends. They also broadly include Cefsulodin as a
suppressing agent without mentioning a specific
concentration and therefore should have raised the same
concern.
3. Note also that dependent claims 4, 5, 26 and 27 further
limit Athe agent used to suppress growth of non-coliform
gram negative bacteriaY@ to a particular antibiotic.
