  • Title: [L-transforming effect of biseptol on cells of Shigella sonnei and flexneri].
    Author: Fedorova ZF.
    Journal: Antibiot Khimioter; 1993; 38(8-9):42-3. PubMed ID: 8037576.
    Abstract:
    Possible L-transformation of Shigella under the action of biseptol on an artificial nutrient medium was investigated. The L-forms were isolated from 6 out of 35 cultures. By the morphological properties the isolates were similar to the L-forms of Shigella flexneri induced by furazolidone. The growth of the L-forms proceeded by the pattern of the rapid mass L-conversion of bacteria and was accompanied by the development of resistance to biseptol. It was inhibited by folic acid added to the medium.
