摘要: I. VERMA, A. ROHILLA AND G.K. KHULLER. 1999.The present study has been undertaken to explore the biochemical mechanism of antimycobacterial action a potent fluoroquinolone i.e. ciprofloxacin in Mycobacterium smegmatis. Cells grown presence subinhibitory concentration (IC50) had significantly lower content all major macromolecules i.e DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids with maximum inhibition DNA as compared control. Significant quantitative changes were also observed various chemical constituents cell wall cells. A decrease number binding sites for fluorescent probe L-anilinonapthalene-8-sulphonate (ANS) cells suggested structural on surface. morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Our results suggest that exerts its activity affecting well macromolecules, particularly vital component survival growth.
