RESUMO
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli grown in the presence of lincomycin and tetracycline produced an increased amount of heat-labile enterotoxin (LT). These antibiotics increased the production of not only extracellular LT but also intracellular LT. On the other hand, lincomycin did not stimulate the production of heat-stable enterotoxin by enterotoxigenic E. coli. The extracellular LTs produced in the presence of lincomycin and tetracycline were purified and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Results showed that the A subunits of the purified LTs were not nicked, unlike that of extracellular LT produced in the absence of the antibiotics.
