초록

The 2.4-kb cryptic plasmid (pKH8) of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus SA2 was characterized by complete nucleotide sequencing and homology comparison. pKH8 was found to contain three open reading frames. Protein analysis of pKH8 showed that pKH8 was a multidrug resistance plasmid and mediated resistance to ethidium bromide and quaternary ammonium compounds.
