Abstract
ConclusionStrains of Staphylococcus aureus vary only slightly in their susceptibility to the antibacterial action of penicillin. By growing the organism in increasing concentrations of penicillin over a long period it was possible to render the organism resistant to penicillin. Similar degrees of increased resistance were found in 4 strains of staphylococci isolated during the course of penicillin therapy for localized infections.
