title: Inhibition of Helicobacter pylori growth by 4-hydroxy-2-alkyl-quinolines produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
abstract: 4-Hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa can inhibit the growth of both metronidazole-sensitive and resistant strains of Helicobacter pylori in vitro. The MIC of one analogue, 4-hydroxy-2-heptylquinoline, was determined by agar plate incorporation as 0.1-0.5 mg/L which compares favourably with other anti-helicobacter agents.
