The amino acid requirements of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from cases of bovine mastitis.
The amino acid requirements of seven strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from cases of bovine mastitis were determined. Arginine, cystine, glycine, leucine, proline and valine were essential for the growth of all isolates. In addition, all isolates required one or more of the following: glutamic acid, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine.
