Abstract
The transferability of plasmid pRI405 between various streptococci of groups A, B and D, S. pneumoniae, and S. aureus is described. pRI405 originated from S. faecalis and encodes for resistance to macrolides, lincomycin and streptogramin B (MLS resistance). The host range of the well-documented streptococcal plasmid pAM.beta.1 was similar to that of pRI405. Cleavage with restriction enzymes suggests that pRI405 belongs to a related family of MLS resistance plasmids.This publication has 45 references indexed in Scilit:
