The Biological Effect Of Evernimicin B On Bacillus Subtilis W2 3 And Three Antibiotic-Resistant Strains Of Staphylococcus Aureus, Steven Bogach

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

One strain of Bacillus subtilis and three antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus were employed to determine the biological effects of everninomicin B (EvB), a naturally occurring antibiotic produced by Micromonospora carbonacea (NRRL 2972) and M. carbonacea var. aurantiaca. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of EvB for B. subtilis was 1.2 x 10-3 µmole/ml of EvB in glucose minimal broth and 2.6 x 10-3 µmole/ml of EvB in nutrient broth. MIC values of EvB for S. aureus were 3.25 x 10-4 µmole/ml of EvB for strains resistant to penicillin or tetracycline and 6.5 x 10-4 µmole/ml of …
