[Bacteriostatic and bacteriacidal activity of hydroxy-9 ellipticine in vitro]. / Hydroxy-9 ellipticine: activité bactériostatique et bactéricide in vitro

ABSTRACT

9-Hydroxy-ellipticine shows a clear effect against bacterial development. This effect depends essentially upon the bacterial species. Two groups can be differentiated Group I with resisting species composed by negative Gram Bacilli (Enterobacteria and Pseudomonas); Group II with sensitive species formed by Coccus, positive Gram Bacilli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Anaerobes.
