Abstract
Conjugative transfer, in the apparent absence of plasmid DNA, of high-level vancomycin resistance from Enterococcus faecalis NCTC 12201 to Staphylococcus aureus B111 has been demonstrated in vivo and in vitro. Selection of transconjugants on media containing erythromycin or chloramphenicol may resul …
