Chandler CJ, Segel IH, Mechanism of the antimicrobial action of pyrithione: effects on membrane transport, ATP levels, and protein synthesis, in Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., vol. 14, n. 1, 1978, p. 1, PMC 352405, PMID 28693.
«At “low” pyrithione concentrations, transport inhibition plateaued at some finite value. This observation suggests that the fungi can detoxify low levels of the inhibitor.»
