Effect of physiological conditions on the autolysis of Staphylococcus aureus strains.

Abstract excerpt

The effect of physiological conditions on autolysis and autolytic activity in various strains of Staphylococcus aureus was determined. The rate of whole cell autolysis of S. aureus was growth phase dependent and a maximum rate was observed in early stationary phase cultures. However, the autolysins extracted by the freeze-thaw method (cell-wall bound autolytic activity) did not show any significant increase in...
