Transferable colicinogeny in Salmonella bareilly.
Twenty eight (5.6%) of the 500 isolates of S. bareilly studied were found to be colicin producers. Of these 27 (96.4%) were Col V producers. None of these produced aerobactin and 18 (64.3%) were multidrug resistant. Among 23 (85.2%) strains both drug resistance as well as colicinogeny could be transferred by conjugation. This is the first time that the transferable colicinogeny has been demonstrated in S. bareilly.
