Back at tissue culture after the war, Enders was joined by two research fellows. Drs. Frederick C. Robbins and Thomas Weller. The work was bedeviled by bacteria contaminating the cultures, making them useless before a slow-starting virus multiplied. Virologists began adding antibiotics to their cultures to keep out bacteria; Enders hit upon a particularly successful combination of penicillin and streptomycin.
