Abstract: | Summary Several mutations conferring resistance to streptomycin, kanamycin, spectinomycin, erythromycin, and lincomycin on the group A streptococcal strain 56188 have been mapped by two- and three-point crosses using transduction with bacteriophage A25. The markers are located in two linkage regions too distant to be cotransduced. One harbors the streptomycin and kanamycin loci which are transduced jointly at 78% and the other bears loci for spectinomycin (spc), erythromycin (eryA), and lincomycin (linA) resistance, in this order. spc and linA are cotransduced at a frequency of about 27%. Analysis of three-point crosses involving spc-4, eryA300, and linA12 according to the Wu model for random general transduction shows consistency of the theoretical predictions with the experimental data and indicates that the intervals of the above sequence are about 22% and 6% of the average length of the transduced piece. |
