Inhibition of Pantothenate Synthesis by Streptomycin

Herman C. Lichstein, R F Gilfillan

Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

The results of studies on the growth response of S. fragilis to pantothenic acid and its precursors, beta-alanine and pantoyl lactone, in the presence of streptomycin, are interpreted to suggest that this antibiotic somehow interferes with the synthesis of pantothenate.
