Abstract
The majority of the 50Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains tested were resistant to ampicillin, kanamycin, streptomycin and tetracycline in concentrations below 100 μg/ml but resistant to chloramphenicol in concentrations equal to or above 100 μg/ml. Two strains had high levels of resistance to ampicillin and to streptomycin and six strains were very sensitive to several antibiotics.
Résumé
La majorité de la cinquantaine de souches deBradyrhizobium japonicum s'est révélée résistante à l'ampicilline, à la kanamycine, à la streptomycine et à la tétracycline aux concentrations intérieures à 100μg/ml mais au chloramphenicol aux concentrations égales ou supérieures à 100 μg/ml. Deux souches présentalent un haut degré de résistance à l'ampicilline et à la streptomycine. Six souches étaient très sensibles à plusleurs antibiotiques.
