Abstract
Summary: Of 19 recently isolated cultures of raethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, 18 showed inducible low-level resistance to minocycline, 15 showed high-level resistance to streptomycin, and 4 showed resistance to low levels of streptomycin. Two cultures produced yellow pigment and may have been derived in vivo by loss of a gene(s) determining orange pigment.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
