Abstract excerpt
In this paper we investigated the ability of 2-nitrofluorene to induce mutations leading to antibiotic resistance in quinolone-sensitive strain Salmonella typhimurium. After preincubation of bacteria with 2-nitrofluorene, the frequency of mutation to ciprofloxacin resistance was 57 fold higher than in the case of spontaneous mutability. Some of resultant resistant colonies showed a great increase of ciprofloxacin...
