Abstract excerpt

The mutagenic events induced by ciprofloxacin, a potent antimicrobial agent, have been characterized. For this, a battery of His mutants of Salmonella typhimurium (hisG428, his G46, His C9070, and his G1775 targets) that detects the six possible transitions and transversions [Levin and Ames (1986...
