Abstract excerpt
In experiments on conjugation the transfer of a number of R-plasmids having a wide range of hosts, such as plasmids RP1, R68.45, RP4, N3, RK2, S-a, those having a narrow range of hosts, such as plasmid R64, to strains of different Legionella species was shown. The frequency of transfer varied from 3.1 X 10(-3) to 9.4 X 10(-7). The fact that the conjugation transfer was confirmed by the reverse transfer of...
