Abstract
The epidemiological study of several multidrug-resistantEnterobacteriaceae isolated from five patients demonstrated in vivo dissemination of a 100-kb plasmid encoding the extended-spectrum β-lactamase TEM-24 from a clonal strain ofEnterobacter aerogenes to different strains ofKlebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis, and Serratia marcescens.Keywords
