Abstract excerpt
A multiply resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate, WBG7410, harbours plasmids of 38, 26, 2.8, 2.4 and 1.9 kb and transfers trimethoprim and kanamycin resistance at high frequencies by conjugation. The transconjugants contained the 38-kb plasmid, pWBG707, and the 2.8-kb plasmid. Plasmid pWBG707 was shown to encode trimethoprim resistance, was conjugative and mobilised at high frequencies the 2.8-kb plasmid which...
