Abstract
THE sensitivity of viable Staphylococcus aureus (Micrococcus pyogenes var. aureus) and cell walls to the lytic action of lysostaphin has been described1. This communication reports experiments to determine the relative susceptibility of strains of staphylococci to lysostaphin utilizing bacteriophage type and antibiotic sensitivity for strain differentiation.
