Colony morphology of Staphylococcus aureus in serum-soft agar following in vivo and in vitro growth.
Staphylococcus aureus isolated from cases of mastitis in ruminants were grown in vitro and in vivo and subsequently examined for expression of diffuse colony morphology in serum-soft agar. Growth in the bovine mammary gland, but not in the ovine mammary gland or ovine peritoneal cavity, resulted in subsequent expression of diffuse colony morphology.
