Plasmid-Mediated Ampicillin Resistance in Haemophilus ducreyi

Three of 19 strains of Haemophilus ducreyi, isolated during a recent outbreak of chancroid, were found to produce β-lactamase and to harbor a 6.0 × 10(6)-dalton plasmid. Escherichia coli transformed with this plasmid acquired β-lactamase-mediated resistance to ampicillin. The guanine-plus-cytosine c...
