Phenotypic modifications in Staphylococcus aureus cells exposed to high concentrations of vancomycin and teicoplanin

Bacterial cells are known to change the fatty acid composition of the phospholipids as a phenotypic response to environmental conditions and to the presence of toxic compounds such as antibiotics. In the present study, Staphylococcus aureus cells collected during the exponential growth phase were ch...
