Twelve antibiotic-sensitive strains of Arizona and ten of Salmonella were tested for ability to receive drug resistance in vitro from two multiple resistant, R factor-carrying strains of E. coli isolated from soiled eggs. Eleven of the 12 Arizona strains and 8 of the 10 Salmonella strains received the R factor from at least one of the donor E. coli strains. One of the donor strains transferred only part of its drug resistance pattern to some of the sensitive strains.
