Abstract excerpt

Two plasmids, pEM4 (IncFI) determining virulence and pEM6 (IncI) determining colicine I production and resistance to tetracycline, have been found in a pathogenic strain of Citrobacter freundii. Even though pEM4 and pEM6 plasmids are conjugative and transfer themselves very efficiently during con...
