A total of 150 strains of staphylococci, clinically isolated, were tested for sensitivity to ovotransferrin (conalbumin). Among these, all the 50 coagulase-positive, mannitol-positive, and deoxyribonuclease-positive staphylococci appeared to be resistant to conalbumin, i.e., capable of growing in the presence of this transferrin. Among the other 100 strains, which were not classified as S. aureus, some appeared to be resistant and some were sensitive. The different behavior toward conalbumin is related to varying degrees of efficiency of the bacterial iron transport systems and, to test this, a simple method can be used, based on the addition of CrCl3 to the culture medium. The precipitation of iron produced by chromium salts has an effect on the growth of staphylococci similar to that produced by conalbumin and reveals the differences in the iron transport systems which occur in the genus Staphylococcus.
