A patient with recurrent furunculosis and an underlying undiagnosed skin disease was treated by means of bacterial interference utilizing the 502A strain of Staphylococcus aureus. The nasal mucosa was successfully colonized with 502A although elimination of the original staphylococcal flora was not achieved. The incidence of staphylococcal lesions was reduced on this program. However, 502A was isolated from all but 1 of the abscesses that did occur subsequently, twice in pure culture. This is the 1st reported case of staphylococcal disease that followed the implantation of the 502A staphylococcus. This experience does not constitute a contraindication to the use of the 502A strain when it may be of benefit, but it is apparent that this "relatively nonpathogenic micro-organism" can produce staphylococcal disease when appropriate host factors exist.
