A Survey of Genomic Maps in Strains of Staphylococcus Aureus

Abstract

Six randomly selected strains of Staphylococcus aureus all exhibited the same gene order along the chromosome when mapped by the synchronous chromosomal replication procedure. Strains possessing multiple antibiotic resistance yielded a genomic map with all genes shifted toward significantly later replication times than in strains not bearing multiple antibiotic resistance. It appears that there is a unique site on the S. aureus chromosome for the initiation of replication.
