Isolation of staphylococcal L-phase variants from the blood and egg yolks of normal chickens.
The use of special microbiological media and modified techniques has resulted in the stimulation of growth and development of bacterial L forms in samples of blood and egg yolk free from mature bacteria and derived from normal healthy chickens. After prolonged cultivation the majority of these L form cultures reverted to staphylococci.
