Penicillinase Studies on L-Phase Variants, G-Phase Variants, and Reverted Strains of Staphylococcus aureus.
L-phase variants and small colony (G-phase) variants derived from penicillinase-producing Staphylococcus aureus strains were tested for penicillinase (beta lactamase) production. A refined variation of the modified Gots test for penicillinase was used to demonstrate penicillinase synthesis. Penicillinase synthesis was reduced in L-phase variants and G-phase variants when compared to parental st...
متن کاملMicrocolonies (G-variants) of Staphylococcus aureus.
The persistence or recurrence of bacteria in patients treated with appropriate antimicrobial therapy continues to be a perplexing problem in clinical medicine. Incomplete bactericidal capacity of the host is probably a contributing factor, but of equal importance may be the ability of bacteria to adapt by acquiring a lowered metabolism and a reduced rate of replica-tion. Since most antimocrobia...
متن کاملSensitivity of penicillinase-forming strains of Staphylococcus aureus and of their penicillinase-negative variants to cephaloridine, cephalothin, methicillin, and benzylpenicillin.
Twenty-eight penicillinase-forming cultures of Staphylococcus aureus and their penicillinase-negative variants were examined for resistance to benzylpenicillin, methicillin, cephalothin, and cephaloridine. The results supported the view that cephaloridine was more easily destroyed by staphylococcal penicillinase than was cephalothin. In our tube-dilution tests, the minimum inhibitory concentrat...
متن کاملInduction by Antibiotics and Comparative Sensitivity of L-phase Variants of Staphylococcus Aureus.
Molander, C. W. (Cedars of Lebanon-Mount Sinai Hospitals, Los Angeles, Calif.), B. M. Kagan, H. J. Weinberger, E. M. Heimlich, and R. J. Busser. Induction by antibiotics and comparative sensitivity of L-phase variants of Staphylococcus aureus. J. Bacteriol. 88:591-594. 1964.-The penicillins, cephalothin, vancomycin, and bacitracin were found to be less inhibitory to the L-phase variants than to...
متن کاملChromogenesis by variants of Staphylococcus aureus.
Chromogenesis in Staphylococcus aureus has received considerable attention, although today it is generally accepted that pigmentation in this organism is of little taxonomic value. Numerous carotenoid pigments from this organism have been characterized (B. Sobin and G. L. Stahly, J. Bacteriol. 44:265, 1942). The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the variations in pigmentati...
