Abstract
Cook, Thomas M., (Sterling-Winthrop Research Institute, Rensselaer, N.Y.), William A. Goss, and William H. Deitz. Mechanism of action of nalidixic acid on Escherichia coli. V. Possible mutagenic effect. J. Bacteriol. 91:780-783. 1966.-With a streptomycin-dependent organism, Escherichia coli ATCC 11143, it has been shown that exposure to nalidixic acid, under conditions permitting some bactericidal action, results in an increased number of streptomycin-independent bacteria among the survivors. This effect is evident only with proliferating cultures, and is related to the concentration of nalidixic acid and the duration of exposure.Entities:
