Plasmid incompatibility studies have demonstrated that strains of Salmonella enteritidis phage type (PT) 6a resistant to ampicillin possess a 36 megadalton incompatibility group (Inc) X plasmid coding for resistance to ampicillin which is capable of converting strains of Salm. enteritidis belonging to PTs 1 and 4 to PT 6a, and PT 8 to PT 13. However, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) has demonstrated that all clinical isolates of PT 6a have a characteristic XbaI pulsed-field profile which is distinct from that of PT 1 and which can only be differentiated from that of PT 4 by the presence of plasmid-associated fragments of less than 45 kb. It is concluded that ampicillin-resistant strains of Salm. enteritidis PT 6a are derived from strains of Salm. enteritidis PT 4 by acquisition of an Inc X ampicillin resistance plasmid.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics. (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1065) Antibiotics, Penicillin,Penicillin,Penicillin Antibiotics
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D004587 Electrophoresis, Agar Gel Electrophoresis in which agar or agarose gel is used as the diffusion medium. Electrophoresis, Agarose Gel,Agar Gel Electrophoresis,Agarose Gel Electrophoresis,Gel Electrophoresis, Agar,Gel Electrophoresis, Agarose
D000667 Ampicillin Semi-synthetic derivative of penicillin that functions as an orally active broad-spectrum antibiotic.

D001434 Bacteriophage Typing A technique of bacterial typing which differentiates between bacteria or strains of bacteria by their susceptibility to one or more bacteriophages. Phage Typing,Typing, Bacteriophage,Typing, Phage
D012477 Salmonella enteritidis A serotype of Salmonella enterica which is an etiologic agent of gastroenteritis in man and other animals. Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis
D012483 Salmonella Phages Viruses whose host is Salmonella. A frequently encountered Salmonella phage is BACTERIOPHAGE P22. Salmonella Bacteriophages,Bacteriophage, Salmonella,Bacteriophages, Salmonella,Salmonella Bacteriophage,Salmonella Phage
D016521 Electrophoresis, Gel, Pulsed-Field Gel electrophoresis in which the direction of the electric field is changed periodically. This technique is similar to other electrophoretic methods normally used to separate double-stranded DNA molecules ranging in size up to tens of thousands of base-pairs. However, by alternating the electric field direction one is able to separate DNA molecules up to several million base-pairs in length.
