Abstract excerpt
We investigated how cyclothialidine (Ro 09-1437), a novel DNA gyrase inhibitor belonging to a new chemical class of compounds, acts to inhibit Escherichia coli DNA gyrase. Cyclothialidine up to 100 micrograms/ml showed no effect on DNA gyrase when linear DNA was used as a substrate. Under the same conditions, quinolones, which inhibit the resealing reaction of DNA gyrase, caused a decrease in the amount of linear...
