Abstract The markers coding for serotype B penicillinase (PcB) in wild type strains of group II of S. aureus behaved as chromosal characters in 6 out of 7 cases. The PcB markers could be transduced to group II strains, and with the help of restriction deficient mutants also to some strains of group I. No extrachromosomal DNA could be detected in the transductants. The low frequency of transduction of chromosomal markers as well as the high restriction barrier seem to limit the spread of these markers outside group II.
