Instability and linkage of silver resistance, lactose fermentation, and colony structure in Enterobacter cloacae from burn wounds

D I Annear et al. J Clin Pathol. 1976 May.

Abstract

A strain of Enterobacter cloacae from a burn wound has displayed unstable resistance to silver nitrate and a linkage of this characteristic to that for rapid lactose fermentation and mucoidcolony structure. Attempts to demonstrate transferability of these unstable determinants gave negative results.
