Elimination of plasmids by new 4-quinolones.

RESUMO
Nalidixic acid and six of the new 4-quinolones eliminated F'lac and various native R plasmids from Escherichia coli at one half or one quarter the MIC. Four of eight plasmids tested were cured by all derivatives, with frequencies from 10 to 98%. Quinolones did not eliminate all plasmids that were cured by novobiocin, and vice versa.
