A cluster of infections caused by gentamicin-resistant gram-negative bacilli in a District General Hospital was investigated. The plasmids coding for gentamicin resistance in the infecting organisms and in isolates obtained from the ward environment and from the faeces of patients and staff were characterised. Six plasmids encoding gentamicin resistance were recognised amongst the organisms causing infection. Two of the plasmids were found in different serotypes of the same species and one plasmid was found in different genera. Three of the plasmids present in the organisms causing the infections were also present in the inanimate environment or in the bowel flora of patients and these also were found in different serotypes of the same species and in different genera.
对一家地区综合医院中由耐庆大霉素革兰氏阴性杆菌引起的一系列感染进行了调查。对感染生物以及从病房环境、患者和工作人员粪便中分离出的菌株中编码庆大霉素耐药性的质粒进行了表征。在引起感染的生物中识别出六种编码庆大霉素耐药性的质粒。其中两种质粒存在于同一物种的不同血清型中，一种质粒存在于不同属中。引起感染的生物中存在的三种质粒也存在于无生命环境或患者的肠道菌群中，并且这些质粒也存在于同一物种的不同血清型和不同属中。
