Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus KH13 and Staphylococcus aureus KH28 were resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin, tobramycin, and norfloxacin. A plasmid (pKH13) and two plasmids (pKH14, pKH15) were isolated from Staphylococcus aureus KH13 and Staphylococcus aureus KH28, respectively and complete nucleotide sequences of three plasmids were determined. It was found that pKH13 and pKH15 mediated chloramphenicol resistance and pKH14 was a cryptic plasmid.
