Bacteriophage-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus H were isolated after mutagenesis with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Cell walls isolated from about half of these resistant strains were incapable of inactivating phages and were shown to lack N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) in their cell wall teichoic acid. Apart from the lack of GlcNAc, two of these mutant strains were deficient in cell wall phosphorus and ester-linked d-alanine. These two strains were also found to be resistant to both phage K and a host-range mutant isolated from the parent phage. These two phages could lyse the other phage-resistant mutants which lacked GlcNAc in their teichoic acid. Cell walls from the remaining phage-resistant mutant strains did inactivate phages and were found to have normal cell wall teichoic acid. Although GlcNAc in teichoic acid was required for phage inactivation, no difference in phage inactivation ability was detected with cell walls isolated from strains of S. aureus having exclusively alpha- or exclusively beta-linked GlcNAc in their cell wall teichoic acid.
