Abstract
SUMMARY: Extrachromosomal streptomycin and tetracycline resistance in Staphylococcus aureus E169 has been transduced to three different recipients. An analysis of the transductants demonstrates that: (1) in most cases the behaviour of the markers in the transductants is similar to that in the donor; (2) the markers are co-transduced at frequencies of 2–44% and the frequency is highest when the selected marker is streptomycin resistance; (3) in the co-transductants the markers segregate independently, suggesting that they are unlinked.Keywords
