Linked And Unstable Resistance To Kanamycin And Penicillin, And Diffusible Pigment Production, In An Isolate Of Staphylococcus Aureus

D. I. Annear, W.B. Grubb

Abstract

Summary A strain of Staph. aureus isolated from an infected wound showed firmly linked resistance to penicillin and kanamycin. Variants sensitive to both these antibiotics were produced spontaneously and at a high frequency during storage for a few days at ambient temperature. Both sensitive and resistant variants produced a highly coloured diffusible pigment.
