Effect of chloramphenicol, erythromycin, moxifloxacin, penicillin and tetracycline concentration on the recovery of resistant mutants of Mycobacterium smegmatis and Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract excerpt

The effect of antimicrobial concentration on colony-forming ability of resistant mutant subpopulations of Mycobacterium smegmatis and Staphylococcus aureus was measured for chloramphenicol, erythromycin, moxifloxacin, penicillin and tetracycline. The relationship between drug concentration and the recovery of mutant colonies was distinct for each bacterium-antimicrobial combination; however, in each case...
