Drug resistance of Escherichia coli isolated in Nepal.
We collected Escherichia coli strains from 59 Nepalese porters in 1971 and surveyed for their drug resistance. Drug-resistant E. coli strains were isolated from four porters. (TC. CM. SM. SA. APC.)-resistant strains were isolated from two porters and SA- or APC-resistant strains were isolated from each of the others. The R factors were demonstrated from the multiple-resistant E. coli strains.
