Abstract
Comparison of resistance genes from different sources support the hypothesis that the antibiotic-producing microorganisms are the source of resistant determinants present in clinical isolates. There is also evidence that Gram-positive cocci (staphylococci and streptococci) can serve as a reservoir of resistance genes for Gram-negative bacteria.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
