| pubmed-article:152092 | pubmed:abstractText | The effect of various concentrations of antitumor antibiotics, such as carminomycin, rubomycin, adriamycin, mitomycin C and bruneomycin on transduction of erythromycin resistance from the donor strain 8325 P II/de of Staph, aureus to the recipient strain 8325-I in different transduction systems was studied. It was shown that the above antibiotics inhibited the transduction in the systems with constant presence of the drugs. Preliminary treatment of the recipient cells with the drugs in the subbacteriostatic doses did not decrease the transfer frequency. The preliminary treatment of the donor cells resulted in an increase in the phase titer and the transfer frequency in the "preliminary-treated donor + recipient" system. | lld:pubmed |
