Conjugation of drug resistance in Vibrio cholera isolates

Forty-two Vibrio cholera isolates collected from the San Lazaro Hospital were tested for their response to the following antibiotics: tetracycline, kanamycin, gentamicin, sulfamethoxazole trimethoprim, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin. Nalidixic acid was utilized as the marker to determine the poss...

Description
Summary:Forty-two Vibrio cholera isolates collected from the San Lazaro Hospital were tested for their response to the following antibiotics: tetracycline, kanamycin, gentamicin, sulfamethoxazole trimethoprim, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin. Nalidixic acid was utilized as the marker to determine the possible conjugation donors. Only fifteen isolates or 35.71 of the total isolates were used as donors in the conjugation on solid media. Fifteen donor isolates transferred their resistance of streptomycin to the recipient E. coli SF 800.
