abstract：:pTK159, a multiresistance 40-kilobase (kb) plasmid, was isolated from a clinical strain of Serratia marcescens. pTK159 was nonconjugative and carried determinants for resistance to amikacin, streptomycin/spectinomycin, sulfamethoxazole and ampicillin. A physical and functional map of pTK159 was constructed. By cloning...
