Abstract excerpt
An insertional mutant was isolated from a bovine Staphylococcus aureus strain after membrane-mating with a Streptococcus faecalis strain carrying conjugative plasmid pCF10::Tn925. This mutant, designated RC128, showed enhanced production of alpha-hemolysin and proteases and decreased production of coagulase, extracellular protein A, DNase, lipase and delta-hemolysin. No difference was found in the production of...
