Abstract
The effects of
p
H, temperature, proportion of
Staphylococcus aureus
in the inoculum, various strains of effector organism, and various strains of
S. aureus
were examined for their influence on interactions between staphylococci and effector organisms in associative culture. In general, small changes in
p
H had little effect upon either growth of
S. aureus
or production of enterotoxin in associative culture. Inhibition of growth of
S. aureus
caused by effector organisms was much greater at 25 than at 30 C. Proportion of
S. aureus
in the inoculum greatly affected both growth of the staphylococci and production of enterotoxin. Only slight differences were found between strains of either effector organism or
S. aureus
which affected the interactions in associative culture.
