Lead, tin, and multiple antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas spp. isolated from polluted sediment

Two Pseudomonas spp. were isolated from freshwater sediment by enrichment in nutrient broth amended with either 1000 μg/mL lead or tin. Both organisms also displayed multiple antiobiotic resistance. The tin‐resistant pseudomonad was also resistant to 1000 μg/mL lead, whereas the Iead‐resistant Pseud...

Zusammenfassung:	Two Pseudomonas spp. were isolated from freshwater sediment by enrichment in nutrient broth amended with either 1000 μg/mL lead or tin. Both organisms also displayed multiple antiobiotic resistance. The tin‐resistant pseudomonad was also resistant to 1000 μg/mL lead, whereas the Iead‐resistant Pseudomonas sp. was not resistant to 1000 μg/mL tin. Vertical and horizontal agarose gel electrophoresis of cleared cell lysates revealed that plasmids were not present in either strain. It therefore appears that lead, tin, and antiobiotic resistance is not plasmid encoded in these organisms.
