Failure of Rifampin to Inhibit Frog Polyhedral Cytoplasmic Deoxyribovirus Multiplication

Louis S Kucera 1
PMCID: PMC444559  PMID: 4586149

Abstract

Resistance of frog virus multiplication to rifampin suggests that components peculiar to cytoplasmic deoxyribonucleic acid replicating viruses (e.g., poxvirus) are not equally sensitive to rifampin.
