Abstract

The addition of Oxytetracycline to an aerated broth culture of the sensitive strainsStaphylococcus Oxford andEscherichia coli 514 during the logarithmic phase of growth immediately stopped the usual steady drop in redox potential values. No differences were found in the dynamics of rH changes during growth of resistant variants of these strains.
