Abstract excerpt
Between January, 1981 and December, 1984, 419 strains of enterobacteria isolated from patients at the Hôpital Saint-Joseph were studied for (1) the level of resistance to trimethoprim (Tp) by determination of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), (2) transferability of this resistance by conjugation into Escherichia coli, (3) plasmid content of wild-type strains and transconjugants by agarose gel...
