Host range variability in the transfer of antibiotic resistance determinants from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

Abstract excerpt

Twelve multiply drug-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated in Frankfurt University Clinics during the year 1998, transferred determinants of antibiotic resistance with remarkable variability in the host range of transferred plasmids. As a new phenomenon, two of them transferred resistance genes to both groups of recipients, i.e. to Enterobacteriaceae as well as to a strain of P. aeruginosa. Six...
