Defined Mutations in the E. coli Porins Genes impF and impC that Confer Increased Permeability
Published Tuesday, March 9, 1999Bacteria are a major cause of contamination in food and water-borne diseases. To eliminate and treat bacterial infections many drugs are formulated and synthesized. Chemicals synthesized as potential anti microbial compounds and/or therapeutic drugs need to be tested for their efficacy. To do this, a good screening system with a test bacteria is...
