Methicillin-resistant staphylococci [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1961
Eighteen strains ofStaph. pyogenes(nine penicillin-sensitive and nine penicillin-destroying) were passaged 40 to 50 times on Celbenin1ditch plates.All strains developed an increase in resistance to Celbenin and eight strains (four penicillin-sensitive and four penicillin-destroying) were able to grow in 100 μg/ml. or more Celbenin.
