In Vitro Serial Passage of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> : Changes in Physiology, Virulence Factor Production, and <i>agr</i> Nucleotide Sequence
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Recently, we observed that Staphylococcus aureus strains newly isolated from patients had twofold-higher aconitase activity than a strain passaged extensively in vitro, leading us to hypothesize that aconitase specific activity decreases over time during in vitro passage. To test this hypothesis, a strain recovered from a patient with toxic shock syndrome was serially passaged for 6 weeks, and the aconitase...
