Abstract
Antibiotics at bacteriostatic concentrations (four times the minimal inhibitory concentration) decreased the attachment of Enterobacteriaceae to human buccal cells in vitro and augmented the reversibility of such adherence. These actions of antibiotics may influence colonization by nosocomial bacteria and the subsequent infection that they cause.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
