Effect of amiloride on the intracellular sodium and potassium content of intact Streptococcus faecalis cells in vitro
Abstract
Amiloride at millimolar concentrations caused marked changes in the growth-dependent intracellular balance of Na+ and K+ in Streptococcus faecalis. These results, whether specific to transport processes or resulting from indirect yet unknown mechanisms, constitute the first evidence of an effect of amiloride on bacterial electrolytes.
