Abstract

The clinical isolate Staphylococcus aureus SA8 was resistant to tetracycline(Tc) and harboured a plasmid pKH1(24.82 kb). pKH1 was shown by curing and by transformation to specify resistance to Tc. The cleavage map of a pKH1 was determined by restricction enzyme mapping techniques. Cleavage map is given for BglII, EcoRI, HpaII, PvuII and SalI. Restriction endonuclease BamHI, BglI, BstEII, HpaI, PstI, and XhoI have no sites on this plasmid. HaeIII, XbaI, and HindIII have 5, 6, 14 sites, respectively.
