title: [Susceptibility of staphylococci to natural and synthetic iron chelators].
abstract: A total of 237 strains of staphylococci belonging to 27 species were tested for susceptibility to natural and synthetic iron-chelators. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were much more susceptible than coagulase-positive ones: 82 out of 148 coagulase-negative strains were susceptible to desferrioxamine B, rhodotorulic acid and ovotransferrin and 7 out of 89 coagulase-positive strains. A correlation between the susceptibility to iron-chelators species affiliation and the origin of strain was not found.
