Horizontal transfer of a multi-drug resistance plasmid between coliform bacteria of human and bovine origin in a farm environment
Abstract
Multi-drug-resistant coliform bacteria were isolated from feces of cattle exposed to antimicrobial agents and humans associated with the animals. Isolates from both cattle and humans harbored an R plasmid of 65 kb (pTMS1) that may have been transferred between them due to selective antibiotic pressure in the farm environment.
