Abstract
The ultrastructure of Staphylococcus aureus grown on plates containing chlorpromazine (CPZ) in concentrations up to a bacteriostatic level (50 micrograms/ml) was studied. High concentrations of CPZ induced large mesosome-like structures and asymmetrical cell divisions in a considerable number of cells.
