Abstract

The coagulase-negative staphylococcal species S. xylosus and S. saprophyticus are able to inactivate phage of the International Basic Set for S. aureus. The cell wall teichoic acids of these species contained two polyols: glycerol and ribitol. Removal of ribitol teichoic acid resulted in a parallel decrease in the ability of the cell walls to inactivate the phages.
