Abstract
Several Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, including one urinary isolate producing an extended-spectrum β-lactamase TEM-24, were isolated from a long-term-hospitalized woman. Three TEM-24-producing enterobacterial species ( Enterobacter aerogenes , Escherichia coli , and Proteus mirabilis ) were isolated from the same patient. TEM-24 and the resistance markers for aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol, and sulfonamide were encoded by a 180-kb plasmid transferred by conjugation into E. coli HB101.Keywords
