Abstract excerpt
Isogenic Tn551 mutants of a highly and uniformly methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus were tested for their rates of autolysis and cell wall degradation in buffer and for cell wall turnover during growth. The normal (relatively fast) autolysis and turnover rates of the parent strain were retained in a Tn551 mutant in which the insert was located within the mec gene and which produced undetectable...
