In 4 S. marcescens polyresistant strains isolated from patients conjugative plasmids transferred to Escherichia coli have been detected. Two of these strains carry each one plasmid which codes resistance to 10 different antibiotics, including aminoglycosides which rarely occur in our country, and belongs to group IncC. The third strain is the host of 2 plasmids. One of them is similar to the above-mentioned 2 plasmids with respect to the incompatibility group and a set of markers, but additionally codes resistance to cephalosporins; the second plasmid has been determined as belonging to group IncM, unstable and capable of rendering the cells highly resistant only to aminoglycosides. And, finally, the fourth strain also carries 2 plasmids: one of them is unstable and belongs, supposedly, to group IncI alpha, and the second plasmid is stable and belongs to group IncM. The plasmid of group IncI alpha differs from all other plasmids of our Serratia by its capacity of rendering the cells highly resistant to chloramphenicol.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D011815 R Factors A class of plasmids that transfer antibiotic resistance from one bacterium to another by conjugation. R Factor,R Plasmid,R Plasmids,Resistance Factor,Resistance Factors,Factor, R,Factor, Resistance,Factors, R,Factors, Resistance,Plasmid, R,Plasmids, R
D003227 Conjugation, Genetic A parasexual process in BACTERIA; ALGAE; FUNGI; and ciliate EUKARYOTA for achieving exchange of chromosome material during fusion of two cells. In bacteria, this is a uni-directional transfer of genetic material; in protozoa it is a bi-directional exchange. In algae and fungi, it is a form of sexual reproduction, with the union of male and female gametes. Bacterial Conjugation,Conjugation, Bacterial,Genetic Conjugation
D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
