Spontaneous mutants that have pigmentation different than that of their parents were isolated from three Staphylococcus aureus strains associated with toxic shock syndrome. These mutants produced toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 in amounts varying from less than 0.05 to greater than 25 times that produced by the parents. The occurrence of nonpigmented variants may be overlooked if only one isolate from a patient with toxic shock syndrome is selected for analysis.
从三株与中毒性休克综合征相关的金黄色葡萄球菌菌株中分离出了色素沉着与亲本不同的自发突变体。这些突变体产生的中毒性休克综合征毒素1的量与亲本相比,从低于0.05倍到高于25倍不等。如果仅从中毒性休克综合征患者中选择一个分离株进行分析,无色素变体的出现可能会被忽视。
