Abstract
At nonpermissive temperatures the peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase of pth(Ts) bacterial mutants is inactivated, and cells accumulate peptidyl-tRNA and die. Doses of erythromycin, lincomycin, or clindamycin that inhibited the growth of antibiotic-hypersensitive DB-11 pth+ cells accelerated the killing of DB-11 pth(Ts) cells at nonpermissive temperatures. Erythromycin and lincomycin also stimulated the accumulation of peptidyl-tRNA. Lincomycin and clindamycin stimulated peptidyl-tRNA dissociation from ribosomes.Entities:
