title: Bacteria and the N-nitrosation of secondary amines.
abstract: The ability of bacteria to catalyse the nitrosation of secondary amines has been investigated. It has been shown that this may be of importance in people with urinary tract infections living in areas where the concentration of nitrate in the drinking water is high.
