RESUMO

Banerjee, N. (Calcutta University, Calcutta, India) and S. K. Bose. Mode of action of mycobacillin, a new antifungal antibiotic. J. Bacteriol. 86:387–391. 1963.—Mycobacillin agglutinates cells of Candida albicans. The agglutination reaction was found to be dependent on temperature, pH level, etc. Experiments have also been planned to assess whether agglutination and antifungal action are causally related. It appears that agglutination may be a secondary late effect of the action of the drug, not causally related to but simply associated with the primary cause responsible for antifungal action.
