INVESTIGATIONS ON STAPHLOCOCCAL HYALURONIDASE. 3. THE EFFECT OF SEVERAL 'MILIEU FACTORS' ON HYALURONIDASE FORMATION OF STAPH. AUREUS IN VITRO

Abstract

The investigations on the influence of various 'milieu factors' on the ability of Staph. aureus to form hyaluronidase led to the conclusion that bacterial growth substances result only indirectly through the promotion of growth in an increased formation of enzyme, while this can be reduced by antibiotics or bacteriophages, likewise in an indirect way by influencing growth. In the presence of hyaluronic acid no stimulation of hyaluronidase production occurred, and in mixed cultures it proved to be dependant on the interrelations of the bacterial antagonism.
