Induction of Mutants of Staphylococcus aureus 100 with Increased Ability to Produce Enterotoxin A

Mischa E Friedman a,1, Mary B Howard a
PMCID: PMC248676  PMID: 4994600

Abstract

As a result of serial exposures to a mutagenic agent, N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, the yield of enterotoxin A produced by the last mutant in the series was increased nearly 20-fold over the amount produced by the parent Staphylococcus aureus 100.
