Seven hundred and six clinical strains of Staphylococcus spp. isolated in different cities of the former USSR in 1986-1992 were investigated. It was shown that the isolates had multiple drug resistance. The hospital strains of Staphylococcus aureus more frequently contained the plasmids with the molecular weight of 21.0 and 18.0 MD as well as the plasmids with the molecular weight of 1.4 MD determining erythromycin resistance. The plasmids with the molecular weight of 3.0 and 2.6 MD were detected which determined streptomycin and tetracycline resistance respectively. Lincomycin and carbenicillin resistance was determined by the chromosomal genes. The elimination studies demonstrated that gentamicin resistance could be determined by the extrachromosomal genes.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid

D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D012426 Russia A country located in north Asia bordering the Arctic Ocean, extending from Europe (the portion west of the Urals) to the North Pacific Ocean. The capital is Moscow. Russian S.F.S.R.,Russian Federation (Europe),Russian SFSR
D013210 Staphylococcus A genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, coccoid bacteria. Its organisms occur singly, in pairs, and in tetrads and characteristically divide in more than one plane to form irregular clusters. Natural populations of Staphylococcus are found on the skin and mucous membranes of warm-blooded animals. Some species are opportunistic pathogens of humans and animals.
