In conjugational crosses, threeKlebsiella pneumoniaestrains and oneSerratia marcescensstrain have been demonstrated to transfer resistance determinants to newer types of cephalosporins. WhileKlebsiellastrains donated cefotaxime, cefamandole and cefuroxime resistance toEscherichia coliK-12 recipients, the genetic analysis of exconjugants after the transfer of plasmids fromSerratiastrains toProteusorSalmonellarecipients showed that the cefoxitin resistance determinant was also co-transferred. In subsequent transfer cycles of this plasmid, cefotaxime and cefoxitin resistance determinants segregated in contrast to the relative stability of plasmids derived fromKlebsiellastrains in subsequent transfer cycles. From results obtained in this study, it may be concluded that in some strains of nosocomialEnterobacteriaceae, resistance to newer cephalosporins could be transmissible and thus plasmid-located.
