Abstract
The transduction efficiency of Tn
551
, a staphylococcal transposon coding for erythromycin resistance (
ermB
), was increased by a factor of about five in acceptor strains carrying the gene for methicillin resistance (
mec
), as compared with methicillin-sensitive strains. This enhancement was independent of the generalized transducing phage used and of the chromosomal insertion site of the Tn
551
transposon.
