title: Antimicrobial activity of some heterocyclic derivatives of 1-methyl-1-nitroethyl sulphides.
abstract: The minimum inhibitory concentration values for a group of synthesized heterocyclic derivatives of 1-methyl-1-nitroethyl sulphide were determined for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and fungi. The active compounds were further screened. The effect of these compounds on growth, morphology and incorporation of 3H-uridine was also tested. Comments on the possible model of action of such compounds is included.
