متن کاملAntibiotics as growth promotants: mode of action.
Recent concerns about the use of growth-promoting antibiotics in pig diets have renewed interest in the immunologic and growth-regulating functions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The numerically dense and metabolically active microbiota ofthe pig GI tract represents a key focal point for such questions. The intestinal microbiota is viewed typically as a beneficial entity for the host. Inte...
متن کاملPenetration of Lipid Monolayers by Polyene Antibiotics. Correlation with Selective Toxicity and Mode of Action.
Previous studies have shown that polyene antibiotics alter permeability in sensitive fungi and thus lead to the loss of essential cytoplasmic constituents, which ultimately culminates in cell death (l-3). Subsequent investigations have led to the contention that the selective toxicity of the polyene antibiotics is due to interaction with a component present only in the membrane of sensitive org...
