L-forms of S. epidermidis were induced at 35°C with the use of an L-form medium with penicillin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of L-form induction and demonstrate whether the origin of the clinical strains affects the frequency of L-forms induction, as well as to study whether the time of action of the antibiotic has an influence on frequency of L-form induction.
