Abstract
- Effect of polymyxin B on the movement of K+ and H+ in polymyxin-sensitive cells of E. coli under different metabolic states has been studied. It was shown that polymyxin B induced the efflux of K+, decreased the efflux of H+ and inhibited the consumption of oxygen in bacterial cells. The effect of antibiotic on ion movement was independent of respiratory conditions. It was suggested that polymyxin B increased ion permeability and destroyed lipid-protein interactions of the respiratory chain simultaneously.
