The Selective Bactericidal Action of Stains Closely Allied to Gentian Violet

چکیده
The recent observation of a sharp selective bactericidal property possessed by gentian violet 1 raised the question as to which part of the gentian violet molecule was responsible for the sensitive affinity. It seemed wise to attack this problem by studying substances closely allied to gentian violet in chemical structure, 2 and the results obtained will be briefly reported in the present communication.

متن کاملThe Selective Bactericidal Action of Methylene-blue
Since the publication of observations on the selective bactericidal action of gentian violet, 1 studies have been carried on in this laboratory with a large number of other dyes. The technique of divided plates, previously described, has been employed. The results with dyes similar in chemical structure to gentian violet have already been reported. 2 These dyes, like gentian violet, were found ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Gentian Violet on Protozoa and on Tissues Growing in Vitro, with Especial Reference to the Nucleus
1. Gentian violet may be regarded as a true vital nuclear stain. 2. Embryonic and adult tissue of the frog will grow in vitro in the presence of gentian violet of a far stronger dilution than that necessary to kill many bacteria. In these experiments, for example, successful tissue growths were obtained when gentian violet 1 to 20,000 was used, yet Bacillus subtilis will not grow in 1 to 100,00...
متن کاملThe Effect of Gentian Violet on Protozoa
In the original communication of Churchman 1 on the selective bactericidal action of gentian violet, published two years ago, the suggestion was made that similar studies should be carried out on the effect of the dye on growing tissue. This communication contains the report s of work undertaken in that direction. The work was primarily undertaken to settle two questions raised by the observati...
متن کاملThe Reverse Selective Bacteriostatic Action of Acid Fuchsin
1. Acid fuchsin possesses a bactericidal power, selective as between Gram-negative and Gram-positive spore-bearing aerobic organisms. The selective feature is the reverse of that of gentian violet. 2. This reverse selective activity is also possessed by simpler sulfonated substances and would appear to be dependent in some way on the presence of SO(3) radicals. 3. Selective penetration, if at a...
