Abstract
Glycine-resistant variants of Staphylococcus aureus were obtained by successive cultivation of parent strains in increasing concentrations of glycine, and the minimal inhibitory concentrations of glycine of the parents and variants were determined. Although it has been reported that growth in glycine or certain antibiotics causes the accumulation of nucleotides involved in cell wall synthesis, a lack of cross resistance of the variants to some of these antibiotics was observed.
