Bifidobacterium adolescentis , normally resistant to 200 μg/ml nalidixic acid, became sensitive to 10 μg/ml nalidixic acid after 15 min exposure to chlorinated sewage effluent (0–08 mg/1000 ml of residual chlorine). After exposure to 0.7 mg/1000 ml of residual chlorine, Bifidobacterium adolescentis became sensitive to 5 μg/ml nalidixic acid.
