Abstract

ABSTRACT S. aureus strains ATCC 6538 P, C‐243, S‐6, and 196 E were unable to grow at 35°C in brain heart infusion, pork extract or beef extract media in which the water activity was adjusted to 0.837—0.839 with sodium chloride. These results are different from some literature reports which indicated that S. aureus could grow at aw 0.83—0.84. Possible reasons for the differences in the minimal aw reported to be required for growth of S. aureus are discussed.
