Abstract

Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus sp #39, isolated from raw-milk showed reduced susceptibility to vancomycin. The minimun inhibitory concentration for strain #39 was at 8$\mu\textrm{g}$ of vancomycin per ml. Transmitting electron microscopy displayed that this strain had a 2.5-3.5 times thicker cell wall than a vancomucin sensitive strain of Staphylococcus sp. The strain #39 also had an increased cell volume. These data indicate that the reduced susceptibility may be due to the thickness of the cell wall of the test strain.
