Abstract
Two Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains from different clonal o rigins, both producing an extended-spectrum p-lactamase (TEM-52), were isol ated from a patient. This enzyme was encoded on a single plasmid and was fo und at very low levels in one strain, while being encoded on multiple plasm ids and in multiple different EcoRI fragments in the other strain.
