| Abstract: | The sensitivity and resistance of some Gram-negative mercury (Hg2+)-sensitive and-resistant strains to chemotherapeutic agents and to disinfectants and preservatives are described.Escherichia coli andPseudomonas aeruginosa strains harboring plasmid pUB 1351 pUB 367:Tn 501] andE. coli bearing R100-1 were resistant to inorganic mercury and to various antibiotics, but were not more resistant to organic mercury and other preservatives and disinfectants than plasmidless strains. |
