An investigation of plasmids from Staphylococcus aureus that mediate resistance to mupirocin and tetracycline
1 Oct 1994
Abstract excerpt
Plasmids conferring mupirocin resistance were prepared from isolates of Staphylococcus aureus obtained from four patients in the same ward. The plasmids are related and in all of them the gene conferring mupirocin resistance (mupA) is flanked by copies of IS257 in direct repeat. In two plasmids mupA and IS257 have been duplicated and in one of these plasmids (pJ3358) a small pT181-like plasmid conferring...
