Abstract: | Two natural strains ofS.panama with an incomplete Resistance Factor (R factor) are described:S.panama I carries a Resistance Transfer Factor (RTF) exerting restriction on phageS.panama 47, but no resistance determinants; andS.panama 219 has a tetracycline-resistance determinant but no RTF.A number of drug-sensitive strains ofS.panama belonging to various phage types, were found to carry a factor which is able to mobilise the tetracycline-resistance determinant ofS.panama 219 and also of one strain ofE.coli and to transfer them toS.panama andE.coli K 12. This factor is not identical with the F factor, it is not a bacteriocinogenic factor and can therefore be considered as an RTF. These RTFs exert no restriction on (spp) and phage 47, and some of them are fi whilst others are fi. |
