Pathogenicity of Stable L-Phase Variants of Staphylococcus aureus: Failure to Colonize Normal and Oxamide-Induced Hydronephrotic Renal Medulla of Rats

Chatrchai Watanakunakorn 1, Cheryl Bakie 1
PMCID: PMC414879  PMID: 4822871

Abstract

The direct intramedullary inoculation of stable L-phase variants of Staphylococcus aureus failed to colonize normal and hydronephrotic rat kidneys induced by oral feeding of oxamide.
