Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: In this study, we analysed field isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium for the presence of conjugative plasmids transferring resistances to antibiotics. METHODS: Altogether 23 strains were analysed for the presence of conjugative R-plasmids. In the case of successful conjugation, the R-plasmids were characterized by PCR for antibiotic resistance genes, integrons and replicon typing....
