Evidence for genetic interaction between plasmid and chromosomal penicillinase linkage groups in Staphylococcus aureus.
Spontaneous reciprocal recombination was detected between the regulator genes of penicillinase plasmids and chromosomal penicillinase linkage groups of Staphylococcus aureus. The frequency of recombination varied with different penicillinase linkage groups.
