Abstract
SummaryA polysaccharide has been isolated from heat-treated or sonically disrupted cells of S. aureus. The polysaccharide is readily attacked by bovine testicular but not by bacterial hyaluronidase. Under the influence of subinhibitory concentrations of penicillin G and nafcillin, the production of the polysaccharide is greatly increased. The possible influence of penicillin on a fundamental pathway or enzyme system involved in the breakdown of the polysaccharide is discussed.
