Abstract

The behaviour of an Escherichia coli isolate of broiler origin harbouring a bla(TEM-52) -carrying plasmid (lactose-negative mutant of B1-54, IncII group) was studied in an in situ continuous flow culture system, simulating the human caecum and the ascending colon during cefotaxime administration.
