The detergent-resistance properties of 208 independent isolates of the Enterobacteriaceae have been examined. Of these bacterial strains, 200 were able to grow in the presence of greater than or equal to 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate, including all members of the Klebsielleae tribe. This resistance does not appear to be plasmid encoded. It is proposed that detergent-resistant organisms be termed saponotolerant or saponophilic, by analogy with other microorganisms occupying harsh ecological niches. In contrast to their prevalent resistance to anionic detergents, not one of the 208 strains tested was found to grow in the presence of three different cationic detergents. This sensitivity to cationic detergents may be of significance in combating nosocomial infections.
已对208株肠杆菌科独立分离株的耐去污剂特性进行了检测。在这些细菌菌株中，200株能够在大于或等于5%的十二烷基硫酸钠存在的情况下生长，包括克雷伯菌族的所有成员。这种抗性似乎不是由质粒编码的。建议将耐去污剂的生物体称为耐皂或嗜皂菌，这是类比占据恶劣生态位的其他微生物而言的。与它们普遍对阴离子去污剂的抗性形成对比的是，在所测试的208株菌株中，没有一株能在三种不同的阳离子去污剂存在的情况下生长。这种对阳离子去污剂的敏感性在对抗医院感染方面可能具有重要意义。
