Abstract

SUMMARY

High-level resistance to trimethoprim (minimum inhibitory concentration > 1000 μg/ml) was conferred by R factors of the W compatibility group in and spp. isolated from patients in three London hospitals. We suggest that we are observing the early stages in the spread of a new R factor.
