Abstract
⺠We adapted the bacterial neutral comet assay for use with soluble antimicrobials. ⺠The assay was employed to investigate the mechanism of action of an antibacterial clay mineral mixture. ⺠Longer comets and thus, higher DNA double-strand break levels, were detected in antibacterial clay leachate-exposed E. coli. ⺠Appropriate control reactions and nucleic acid stains for the assay were established.
