Plasmid-Related Transmissibility and Multiple Drug Resistance in Streptococcus faecalis subsp. zymogenes Strain DS16

RESUMO
Streptococcus faecalis subsp. zymogenes strain DS16 was found to harbor two plasmids, designated pAD1 (35 megadaltons) and pAD2 (15 megadaltons). pAD1 is transmissible and determines a hemolysin-bacteriocin, whereas pAD2 is non-conjugative and determines resistance to erythromycin, streptomycin, and kanamycin. pAD2 could be mobilized by pAD1, but usually involved formation of a pAD1-pAD2 cointegrate.
