Demonstration of Transforming Deoxyribonucleic Acid in an Autolysate of a Group H Streptococcus

Jon M Ranhand 1, Roger M Cole 1
PMCID: PMC285156  PMID: 4102337

Abstract

Highly active transforming deoxyribonucleic acid was obtained from an autolysate of competent strain Wicky group H streptococcal cells that were resistant to both dihydrostreptomycin and rifampin.
