The effect of eight antibacterial agents on the elimination of 32P-labelled Escherichia coli by rat polymorphonuclear cells.

The effect of 8 antibacterial agents on the elimination of 32P-labelled Escherichia coli from rat polymorphonuclear cells was studied. None of the drugs tested had a detectable influence on the expulsion of labelled products from the cells being exposed to the various drugs during the elimination phase.
