The in vitro post-antibiotic effects on cell surface hydrophobicity and bacterial adherence were examined in one strain of group B streptococci. Exposure of the microorganism for 2 h at 37 \u00b0C to 1 x MIC of penicillin induced a PAE of 1.1 h. The cell surface charge of the Streptococcus was altered significantly during the post-antibiotic phase as shown by its ability to bind to xylene: hydrophobicity was decreased. Bacterial adherence to human buccal epithelial cells was also reduced. The results of the present investigation indicate that studies designed to determine therapeutic regimens should evaluate the clinical significance of aspects of bacterial physiology during the post-antibiotic period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652008000400003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,29]],"date-time":"2008-09-29T14:46:54Z","timestamp":1222699614000},"page":"203-207","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Cell surface hydrophobicity and adherence of a strain of group B streptococci during the post-antibiotic effect of penicillin"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"\u00c2ngela Maria Mendes","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivi Cristina Menezes de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcos Corr\u00eaa de","family":"Mattos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leslie C.","family":"Benchetrit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"671","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI108979","article-title":"Excretion of lipoteichoic acid by group A streptococci: influence of penicillin on excretion and loss of ability to adhere to human oral mucosal cells","volume":"61","author":"ALKAN M.L.","year":"1978","journal-title":"J. clin.
