Abstract
A florfenicol resistance gene almost identical to floR of Salmonella enteri ca serovar Typhimurium DT104 was detected on 110- to 125-kb plasmids in Esc herichia coli isolates of animal origin. Analysis of the floR gene flanking regions of one of the plasmids showed that they were different from those encountered in S, enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104.
