    Summary: "Comprehensive and easy to use, Drugs for Pregnant and Lactating Women, 3rd Edition, remains your #1 resource for reliable information on virtually all of today's drugs and herbal supplements and how they interact with pregnancy and lactation. This logically organized reference has been frequently emulated, but not duplicated. The 3rd Edition has been thoroughly updated to keep you current with new drugs, changes in FDA labeling, and more in-depth information on interactions. Designed for ease of use in the clinical setting, it provides the key drug information needed by physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and others involved in the care of pregnant and lactating women"--Publisher's description.

    Various unsaturated fatty acids (notably palmitoleic acid and oleic acid) interfered with plaque production by the lipid-containing bacteriophage PR4 on lawns of Escherichia coli. Addition of fatty acid to give 50 mug/ml ( approximately 0.2 mM) at the time of infection prevented phage replication. If, however, the fatty acid was added after infection, normal amounts of phage were produced. If the fatty acid was added (to 50 mug/ml) to the host cell culture a long enough time before infection such that the fatty acid concentration in the growth medium at the time of infection was reduced to less, similar5 mug/ml (due to fatty acid incorporation by the host cells), normal phage replication occurred also. Neither palmitoleic acid nor oleic acid prevented PR4 attachment to E. coli. Several types of experiments indicated that it is the entry process of the virus that is inhibited by these fatty acids. Specifically, if the fatty acid was added at the time of infection, the host cells were not killed by the virus and no detectable amounts of viral protein were synthesized. In addition, experiments using purified radioisotope-labeled virions showed directly that entry is inhibited. Mutants of PR4 that did replicate in the presence of oleic acid arose spontaneously at a frequency of 10(-6). Three of these mutants that have been further characterized have protein and phospholipid compositions indistinguishable from those of wild-type PR4.
