Survival of R+Escherichia coli in sea Water

Peter R Smith 1, Evelyn Farrell 1, Kieran Dunican 1
PMCID: PMC380187  PMID: 4598230

Abstract

The survival of Escherichia coli strains in sea water appears not to be affected by the possession of an R+ factor. Sea water induces no detectable curing of R+E. coli.
