Abstract excerpt
Multidrug-resistant staphylococci often harbour plasmids that carry genes conferring resistance to several antimicrobial compounds. Many of these multiresistance plasmids appear to utilize a related theta-type replication system for which multiresistance plasmid pSK1 serves as a prototype. Essential pSK1 replication elements were identified by cloning segments of the replication region and testing the resulting...
