title: [Possibility of reversing the action of the membranotropic antibiotic, gramicidin S, on bacteria].
abstract: The study on the possibility of eliminating gramicidin S from the bacterial cells which had adsorbed it showed that a part of the labeled antibiotic bound by the bacteria may be washed out with buffer or salines. When the cells which had adsorbed gramicidin S were treated with lecithin emulsion, a significant part of the bound antibiotic was transferred to the lecithin liposomes. This turned the gramicidin S effect to the cells: significant but not complete reduction of the membrane barrier properties and dehydrogenase reactivation. Elimination of gramicidin S also reduced the colony forming capacity in a part of the cells.
