Abstract

Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus contains five plasmids, designated pACK1-pACK5. Recently, the nucleotide sequences of three of these plasmids, pACK1, pACK3, and pACK4, were reported. In order to complete the characterization of these five plasmids, the nucleotide sequences of the two remaining plasmids, pACK2 (37683bp) and pACK5 (3191bp), were determined. pACK5 is comprised of two regions, one with 85% identity at the nucleotide level to a region of pWBG1773 and another region with an ORF that shares no significant similarity to sequences previously described in GenBank. pACK2 encodes proteins for cadmium resistance and enhanced biofilm formation. The similarities at the nucleotide level among regions of the plasmids of S. simulans bv. staphylolyticus suggest that these plasmids have undergone multiple intermolecular rearrangements.
