Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the association between plasmid diversity, antibiotic resistance and virulence genes of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolates from private hospitals in Gauteng, South Africa. Automated antibiotic susceptibility testing was done on 100 S. aureus isolates. Plasmid extraction and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based replicon typing were done on all isolates, followed by a multiplex-PCR...
