Isolation and properties of a linoleic acid-resistant mutant of Staphylococcus aureus.
A linoleic acid-resistant mutant (Lar-2) of Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 8325 has been isolated and partially characterized. The resistance of the mutant may be due to an increased capacity of the bacterial membrane to incorporate linoleic acid.
