Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus isolate WBG1003 resistant to benzyl penicillin, cadmium, arsenate and streptomycin harbours two plasmids of 38.8 (pWBG621) and 4.4 (pWBG625) kb. In conjugation experiments two types of streptomycin-resistant transconjugants were obtained; one carried a 4.4-kb plasmid and the other, a 34.5-kb and a 4.4-kb plasmid. The 34.5-kb plasmid (pWBG620) has been found to be conjugative and able to...
