Abstract excerpt
Plasmid-chromosome co-integration was found to be the mechanism of choice to overcome thermosensitivity of replication of the plasmid pS1 in PS80d and RN4220 strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The integration of the plasmid was sometimes accompanied by deletion of a specific section of the plasmid...
