Bacteria and the N-Nitrosation of Secondary Amines

Gabrielle M Hawksworth, M J Hill
PMCID: PMC2008749  PMID: 4947346

Abstract

The ability of bacteria to catalyse the nitrosation of secondary amines has been investigated. It has been shown that this may be of importance in people with urinary tract infections living in areas where the concentration of nitrate in the drinking water is high.
