title: Effect of excision repair system on antibacterial and mutagenic activity of daunomycin and other intercalating agents in Salmonella typhimurium.
abstract: Daunomycin and adriamycin, are more mutagenic and antibacterial for a strain of Salmonella typhimurium defective for the uvrB gene than for its uvr+ counterpart. Other intercalating agents, as some acridine dyes, affect equally the two bacterial strains.
