Abstract
Bacterial colonies grown on membrane filters and transferred to plates of inhibitor-containing medium decrease in number of total viable colony-forming cells. The decrease in viable cell count occurs in direct proportion to the concentration of inhibitor present and the length of time the colonies are exposed to the inhibitor, suggesting that the kinetics of cell kill approximate a first-order chemical reaction.
