AB  - The composition of fatty acids of methicillin-resistant (MR) and 
      methicillin-sensitive (MS) strains of Staph. aureus and Staph. epidermidis was 
      determined with the method of reactive gas liquid chromatography. The MS 
      staphylococci of the above species differed by the content of acids with branched 
      chains of iso- and anteisostructures and straight chains. Anteisoacids in the 
      cells of Staph. epidermidis amounted almost to 80 per cent of the total number of 
      the acids, while in the cells of Staph. aureus, their total number amounted only 
      to a half of the fatty acid pool. Comparison of the composition of the fatty 
      acids of the MS and MR strains of Staph. aureus revealed differences in the 
      proportions of the anteiso- and isoacids. The total number of the long-chain 
      C20.0 acid in the cells of Staph. epidermidis resistant to methicillin was lower 
      as compared to that in the sensitive cells.
