Description

The effects of low intensity electromagnetic irradiation (EMI) at the frequencies 51.8 and 53 GHz and antibiotic ceftazidime on N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), inhibited ATP-ase activity of Lactobacillus acidophilus membrane vesicles were investigated. It was shown that both frequencies decreased the ATP-ase activity, moreover, ceftazidime increase the sensitivity of cells to DCCD, inhibitor of the F0F1-ATP-ase. EMI combined with ceftazidime and DCCD markedly decreased the ATPase activity. The F0F1-ATP-ase is suggested can be a target for the effects observed
