A comparison was made of the pigment-forming capacity and the enzymatic activity, growth rate, virulence and sensitivity to antibiotics and egg lysozyme in 397 pigment, 203 pigment-free strains of staphylococci and 24 pigment-free Staph aureus mutants. Pigment formation did not always correlate with the general biological activity of the cultures, the rate of their growth and the sensitivity to antibiotics and lysozyme. Pigment-free staphylococcus mutants retained the principal properties of the initial strains (including the virulence and sensitivity to antibiotics and egg lysozyme) more frequently. It is supposed that the marker determining the pigment formation in staphylococci was not connected with the markers determining the most significant pathogenicity properties and also antibiotic resistance.
对397株产色素葡萄球菌、203株无色素葡萄球菌菌株及24株无色素金黄色葡萄球菌突变体的色素形成能力、酶活性、生长速率、毒力以及对抗生素和蛋清溶菌酶的敏感性进行了比较。色素形成并不总是与培养物的一般生物学活性、生长速率以及对抗生素和溶菌酶的敏感性相关。无色素葡萄球菌突变体更频繁地保留了原始菌株的主要特性（包括毒力以及对抗生素和蛋清溶菌酶的敏感性）。据推测，决定葡萄球菌色素形成的标记与决定最显著致病特性以及抗生素抗性的标记无关。
