title: [Studies of the enterotoxin production capacity of L forms derived from enterotoxic strains of Staphylococcus aureus].
abstract: The production of enterotoxin by L-forms obtained from strains of Staphylococcus aureus (10 enterotoxin A-producing strains, 7 enterotoxin B, 2 enterotoxin C and 1 which produced both enterotoxins A and C) has been studied by agar-gel diffusion technique. Using a proper technique, enterotoxin could be detected for 4 L-forms; 3 of these produced the same enterotoxin as parent strain (2 enterotoxin A and 1 enterotoxin B). As regards the other L-form, obtained from strain of St. Aureus which produced both enterotoxins A and C, only enterotoxin A could be detected.
