In another experiment, the S. typhi strain D1/01, having the resistance pattern of ACCoTNx, transferred the ACCoT-
resistance to the antibiotic sensitive S. typhi strain through E. coli C600, indicating the non-transferability of Nx-
resistance from D1/01 strain (Table 1).
Transfer of Resistance from E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. vulgaris to S. typhi
In this study, the MDR E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. vulgaris strains transferred ACCoT-resistance to the recipient
strains (Table 2).
