The resistance of 96 per cent, of 400 of the strains could be transmitted, often at a high rate, to E. coli strain K12F−. A lower and variable proportion of the strains transmitted their resistance to nine other enterobacterial strains, principally pathogens; the rate of transmission was much lower than that which occurred to E. coli strain K12F−.", }
