Abstract excerpt
E. coli exposure to ciprofloxacin disturbs cysteine homeostasis; an increase in the intracellular concentration of cysteine is dangerous due to its ability to enhance ROS generation. Unlike wild-type bacteria, in which the cysteine content did not exceed the control level, cells of the gshA mutant lacking glutathione are characterized by increased concentration of intracellular cysteine in proportion to the...
