The study of the effect of ampicillin on the electrophysical properties of Escherichia coli cells showed that this antibiotic influences the orientational spectra (OS) of the ampicillin-susceptible E. coli strains K-12 and XL-1 within the frequency range 10-1000 kHz of the orienting electric field and does not affect the OS of the ampicillin-resistant strains K-12(pUC-18) and XL-1(pHEN1). The change in the electrooptical signal of the ampicillin-susceptible cells was maximum at an ampicillin concentration of 50 microg/ml and did not depend on the exposure time. The conclusion is drawn that changes in the OS of cells can be used to evaluate their resistance to ampicillin.

The effects of ampicillin; kanamycin, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline on electrophysical characteristics of cells of sensitive (ampicillin; kanamycin, chloramphenicol) and resistant (ampicillin; kanamycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline) Escherichia coli strains were studied. Under the action of antibiotics sensitive and resistant E. coli strains acquire different electro-optical properties.

Development of rapid and sensitive procedures for determination of microbial resistance to antibiotics is one of the most urgent trends in microbiology. The problem is shown to be solved by using electrooptical assay based on change of the electrophysical properties of suspended bacterial cells exposed to antibiotics with different mechanisms of action. Possible determination of the microbial cell susceptibility to antibiotics and their antibacterial activity is demonstrated.

Significant changes in the orientation spectra of the cell suspensions incubated with various concentrations of the antibiotics were observed only at the first five frequencies of the orienting electric field (10-1000 kHz). Ampicillin in a concentration of 1.
