[Activity of Krebs cycle enzymes in Staphylococci containing determinants of antibiotic resistance]. 1996

V G Gavriliuk, and L P Golodok, and A I Vinnikov

The activity of enzymes, which catalyse reaction of the Krebs cycle and some biosynthetic reactions, connected with the cycle, has been comparatively analyzed. A decrease in the intensity of basic reactions of tricarboxylic acid cycle has been defined. Considerable increase of anaplerotic processes and amino acid synthesis in plasmid-containing variants of staphylococci is shown.

D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).
