Tetracycline dependence in a strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis.
An isolate of Staphylococcus epidermidis exhibited an enhanced zone of growth around a tetracycline disc. All six tetracycline-related compounds investigated produced this effect, which could only be demonstrated on certain media. Modification of this phenomenon resulted from variation of the incubation temperature.
