Summary

The work shows that killed autoclaved culture ofListeria monocytogenes, resistant to 75,000 units/ml of streptomycin, used in the capacity of a donor, transforms streptomycin resistance in theStaphylococcus pyogenes aureus recipient, analogous to the transforrning action of theSalmonella typhimurium, culture resistant to 75,000 units/ml and killed at 75°C. The rise of streptomycin resistance to staphylococcus cultivated in the autoclaved listeria culture ran a parallel course with the rise of the reistance of staphylococci reared in a heated salmonella culture. The fact of transmission of streptomycin resistance to staphylococcus by microorganisms of two different genera points to the thermostability and similarity of factors of streptomycin resistance for staphylococci, listeria, and salmonella.
