Characterization of two H2S-producing, multiple drug-resistant isolates of Escherichia coli from clinical urine specimens.
Two H2S producing, multiple drug-resistant variants of Escherichia coli were isolated from clinical urine specimens. Both isolates transferred, eleven resistance determinants to recipient strains of E. coli K 12 and nine r-determinants to Klebsiella pneumoniae recipients; in no instance was transfer of the 'curing'-refractory H2S marker demonstrable.
