Abstract excerpt
The postantibiotic effect (PAE) values found for proteinase-defective (Lon(-)) Escherichia coli and RNase-defective E. coli exposed to antibiotics were reduced (31 to 60% and 35 to 50%, respectively) in comparison with the control (AB1157), and in the recA13 mutant these values were about 0.4 h with all drugs. Nalidixic acid, under anaerobic conditions, induced no PAE (0 to 0.1 h) in AB1157. A delay in regrowth...
