Influence of growth rate on susceptibility to antimicrobial agents: modification of the cell envelope and batch and continuous culture studies
Year: 1990
Type: article
Abstract: Those interested in antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy culture microorganisms for a variety of tests. These include susceptibility assessments, bioassays, studies of the interactions between antibiotics and host defenses, and in vitro stimulation of in vivo conditions for purposes of extrapolation. The specific physiological state of the organisms used, especially surface properties, greatly influences the outcome of all such tests.
