Abstract
Several Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, including one urinary isolate produ cing an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase TEM-24, were isolated from a long- term-hospitalized woman. Three TEM-24-producing enterobacterial species (En terobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis) were isolate d from the same patient. TEM-24 and the resistance markers for aminoglycosi des, chloramphenicol, and sulfonamide were encoded by a 180-kb plasmid tran sferred by conjugation into E. coli HB101.
