Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus strains bearing the 17.2-kb beta-lactamase plasmid pBW15 and belonging to phage group 94/96 exhibit borderline susceptibility to the antistaphylococcal penicillins. Borderline susceptibility within phage group 94/96 is thought to be mediated by the hyperproduction of type A...
