A cadmium resistance plasmid, pXU5, in Staphylococcus aureus, strain ATCC25923.
A 25.9-kb plasmid, pXU5, encoding high level cadmium resistance was isolated from Staphylococcus aureus strain ATCC25923. A labelled cadA probe from plasmid pI258 hybridised to a 2.3-kb EcoRI fragment of pXU5. pXU5 was incompatible with an S. aureus incompatibility group 1 plasmid.
