Rifampin-resistant mutants were selected from UV-light-treated Bacillus cereus (20 mutants) and attenuated B. anthracis (23 mutants). In addition, spontaneous rifampin-resistant mutants were also isolated in attenuated B. anthracis (22 mutants). The rifampin resistance clusters of the rpoB gene were sequenced for all 65 mutants. Mutations associated with resistance were consistent with those from other bacteria, though two novel changes were observed. The spontaneous rate of resistance was estimated at 1.57 x 10(-9) mutations/generation by a Luria-Delbrück fluctuation test.
从经紫外线处理的蜡样芽孢杆菌(20个突变体)和减毒炭疽芽孢杆菌(23个突变体)中筛选出利福平抗性突变体。此外,在减毒炭疽芽孢杆菌中也分离出了自发利福平抗性突变体(22个突变体)。对所有65个突变体的rpoB基因的利福平抗性簇进行了测序。与抗性相关的突变与其他细菌的突变一致,不过观察到了两个新的变化。通过Luria-Delbrück波动试验估计抗性的自发率为1.57×10⁻⁹个突变/代。
