“…The most frequent were C-MZ-TI-CZ (37.6%) and C-TI-CZ (20.8%). Following the recommendations of the NCCLS (Washington 1991), 9.4% of the strains had a pattern which included the group A antibiotics tested and 7.3% of group D. Hence, in spite of the high percentage of resistant strains found among the psychrotrophic NFGNBs occurring on lettuce and tomatoes, less than 10% had the complete MZ-TI-GM (group A) pattern or the complete NX-CZ (group D) pattern. However, it is worth noting the high percentage of strains which were resistant to chloramphenicol (80.9%), the only group C antibiotic tested.…”

A total of 330 strains of psychrotrophic non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria isolated from vegetables were studied. In spite of the wide range of antibiotic resistance occurring, less than 10% showed resistance patterns which included mezclocillin-ticarcillin-gentamicin or ceftizoxime-norfloxacin. Reductions of > 5 log10 in the numbers of cfu were found when these strains were exposed for 30 min to a quaternary ammonium compound (1% w/v).
