Abstract

ABSTRACT DNA fingerprinting and molecular characterization showed that the tetracycline-resistant Staphylococcus aureus population of a South African poultry processing plant comprised one or possibly several tet (K)-containing endemic clones that contaminated chicken and machinery surfaces at all sampled processing stages. The tet (K) gene was transferable by filter mating to S. aureus recipient 80CR5 and was located on a pT181-like plasmid.
