Effect of biotin deficiency on some properties of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from humans and other animals.

J D Adekeye and E H Coles

ABSTRACT

Staphylococcus aureus isolates from humans and other animals were grown in biotin assay medium containing 12 mug of biotin per liter and compared to isolates from the same sources grown concurrently in medium containing adequate biotin. The two cultures were tested for production of coagulase, phosphatase, and fibrinolysin enzymes and for responses to various antimicrobial agents and bacteriophages. Organisms grown in biotin-deficient medium produced less phosphatase; coagulase and fibrinolytic activity was reduced, and they were more susceptible to antimicrobial agents than were normal organisms, but phage susceptibility was not greatly affected.
