Resistance transfer factors are natural conjugative plasmids encoding antibiotic resistance. Some also encode mutagenic DNA repair genes giving resistance to DNA damage and induced mutagenesis. It has been shown that antibiotic resistance has been ac

Following an outbreak of cross-infection with multiply-resistant Klebsiella aerogenes epidemiological studies demonstrated the association of the use of suction apparatus with the distribution of positive cases. Eighty per cent of 66 cases had been e

SUMMARY: Phage Fo lac is an RNA-containing phage which plates only on strains carrying the plasmid EDP208, a pilus derepressed derivative of the unique incompatibility plasmid Fo lac. A host range mutant, phage Fo lac h, was selected which plated on

The incidence of trimethoprim resistance in enterobacteria causing infection in a London hospital increased from 5.6% in 1970 to 16% in 1979. The proportion of gentamicinresistant aerobic Gram-negative bacilli had risen to 6.5% by 1979. During a 5-mo

In an outbreak of hospital infection caused by Klebsiella aerogenes type K-16 isolates over a 3-month period carried, apparently unaltered, a cryptic 90-Megadalton (Md) plasmid (unclassified) and a multiple-resistance 65-Md plasmid of IncM. The IncM

Colicin factors are thought to fall into two taxonomic groups which differ in, amongst other properties, the molecular weight of the plasmid DNA and the host range of the colicin protein. This hypothesis is supported by the plasmids found in 26 colic

SUMMARYKlebsiella of capsular type K2 were investigated to find out whether a single epidemic clone was the source of many outbreaks of infection in different hospitals, in different areas over a period of five years. The klebsiellas studied were fou

Phage pilH alpha was specific for bacterial strains, of various genera, harbouring plasmids of the HI and HII incompatibility groups. Plaque formation was temperature sensitive in that plaques formed at 26 degrees C but not at 37 degrees C. Plaques w

During an outbreak of hospital infection, 71 multiply-resistant klebsiella strains were classified by two extra tests in addition to biotyping, serotyping and sensitivity testing. These were klebecin sensitivity tests (Edmondson & Cooke, 1979) and sc
