Two streptococcal isolates of groups C and G harbored conjugative R plasmids with molecular weights of 17 X 10(6) (pIP646) and 20 X 10(6) (pIP920). These plasmids carried genetic markers for resistance to macrolides and related drugs, as well as to chloramphenicol (pIP920), and have very similar HindIII restriction enzyme patterns.
