Multiresistant strains of Escherichia coli isolated from the rumen of young calves.
Five multiresistant strains of Escherichia coli were isolated from the rumen fluid of young calves. Resistance to tetracycline and ampicillin was found to be associated with the transfer of a 6.4 kbp plasmid present in two investigated strains.
