Ninety-nine strains were capable of producing mannose-resistant haemagglutination. Seventeen of these strains possessed transferable resistance plasmids and 11 of these were also able to transfer the mannose-resistant haemagglutination gene, suggesting that it was carried on the R plasmid or had been mobilized by it. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-132-8-2243
