Abstract excerpt
Spontaneously-occurring rifampicin-resistant mutants of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated on 4% (w/v) Tryptone Soya Agar containing 4 and 40 times the m.i.c. for rifampicin. A number of colonies were selected at each rifampicin concentration and were grown aerobically in 3% (w/v) Tryptone Soya Broth for 24 h at 37 degrees C. In the case of S. aureus RN4220 all the mutants grew to bacterial densities up to...
