ORAL PRESENTATIONS Discussion: Cross-resistance to different antibacterial agents including quinolones and nalidixic acid, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim and in some cases b-lactam antibiotics is a common phenomenon in Gram-negative bacteria (Gutmann et al., 1995). In this study adaptive resistance in Salmonella enterica and E. coli O157, O55 and K-12 was readily achieved by passage in sublethal...
