    Author: Olukoya DK, Asielue JO, Olasupo NA, Ikea JK.
    Journal: Afr J Med Med Sci; 1995 Jun; 24(2):135-8. PubMed ID: 8669391.
    Abstract:
    In an investigation into the problems of infections due to Staphylococcus aureus in Nigeria, 100 strains were isolated from various hospitals in Lagos. The strains were screened for the presence of plasmids and for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Plasmids were extracted by modification of the method of Takahashi and Nagono[1]. The plasmids were diverse in nature. The strains were found to be highly resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics.
