Lipolytic activity of Staphylococcus aureus from different sources.
The lipolytic activity for a number of triglycerides, oils, and Tween 80 of 50 Staphylococcus aureus strains from the margin of the eyelids in patients with chronic blepharitis was found to be significantly greater than that of 80 S. aureus strains from the upper respiratory tract.
