Lipid Composition of Gram-Negative Bacteria, Sensitive and Resistant to Streptomycin

Elizabeth A Bishop 1, Margaret A C Bermingham 1
PMCID: PMC444561  PMID: 4202344

Abstract

Analyses of streptomycin-sensitive and -resistant gram-negative bacteria show that, contrary to previous reports, the development of antibiotic resistance is not accompanied by changes in membrane lipid or fatty acid composition.
