Resistance tod-cycloserine could be induced inBacillus subtilis168 by sublethal concentrations ofd-cycloserine. Sensitivity to the antibiotic could be regained by growth in the absence ofd-cycloserine. The bactericidal activity ofd-cycloserine apparently was not altered by resistant cells, and peptidoglycan synthesis was still inhibited byd-cycloserine in resistant cells. Thed-cycloserine resistance apparently resulted from a decreased uptake of the antibiotic. The decrease ind-cycloserine transport could be prevented by simultaneous treatment of the cells with rifampin andd-cycloserine.d-Cycloserine was transported by the same system as glycine inB. subtilis.d-Cycloserine was able to exchange for intracellular glycine in both sensitive and resistant cells, suggesting thatd-cycloserine is not excluded from the cell in resistant cultures.
