IncH plasmids in Escherichia coli strains isolated from broiler chicken carcasses

E Chaslus-Dancla et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1985 Apr.

Abstract

Plasmids conferring tellurite resistance were transferred at low temperature (27 degrees C) from Escherichia coli strains isolated from chicken carcasses at the time of slaughter and after storage. They belonged to group IncH, as evidenced by their large molecular weight and incompatibility with plasmid pIP233. E. coli strains contaminating chickens meat can thus represent a source of IncH plasmids in the food chain of humans.
