Electron Microscopy of Staphylococcus aureus Treated with Tetracycline

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

After exposure to tetracycline, Staphylococcus aureus was fixed with formaldehyde and osmium tetroxide, thin-sectioned, and examined with the electron microscope. Compared with control cells, the tetracycline-treated cells had no transvers septa, were larger, had a greater electron density, and had thicker cell walls.
