Abstract excerpt
A cross-adaptive response (CAR), defined as a reduction of the effects of an agent by pretreatment with another agent, was demonstrated when E. coli WP2 cells were pretreated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) followed by challenging treatment with aldehyde compounds. Pretreatment with a sublethal dos...
