The influence of pyrithione on the growth of micro-organisms.
Pyrithione was active against a range of micro-organisms, the most resistant being Gram-negative bacteria. The growth curves for Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacillus licheniformis showed a drug-dependent lag phase. Candida albicans grew with a drug-dependent growth rate. EDTA antagonized the effects of pyrithione.
