A clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus interpreted as resistant to penicillin by the Autobac 1 susceptibility testing method (i.e., light-scattering index of 0.77) was found to be susceptible to penicillin by both the disk diffusion and broth dilution techniques. The growth rate of the clinical isolate during a 4-h incubation interval was similar to that of a known sensitive reference strain (S. aureus ATCC 25923) used as a control organism for the Autobac test. The bactericidal effect of penicillin was evaluated by measuring the rate of killing over a 4-h interval. The percentages of organisms surviving exposure to 5.0 or 2.5 U of penicillin G per ml (number of organisms recovered at 3 h/number of organisms introduced as inoculum) were 68 and 76%, respectively, for the clinical isolate and 15 and 21%, respectively, for the reference strain. After 24 h of incubation, penicillin was bactericidal for both strains. The need to increase the time of incubation for those S. aureus isolates resistant to penicillin after 3 h of standard incubation time in the Autobac system is discussed.
