Abstract Streptococcus faecium strain 25 produced a bacteriocin (enterococcin Sf25), metabolized sucrose and contained three plasmids of 2.4, 4.7 and 13.0 MDa. Plasmids Sfp2.4 and Sfp4.7 were cotransferred in a filter mating procedure to sucrose negative and bacteriocin negative S. faecium strain M16. Strain M16 harboured a nonselftransferable plasmid Sfp 19.1 MDa, which was responsible for erythromycin resistance. Transcipient cells of S. faecium M16 contained the 19.1-MDa plasmid and plasmids Sfp2.4 and Sfp4.7, produced the enterococcin Sf25 and gained the ability to degrade sucrose.
