Abstract/Summary

Multiple antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli isolates were subjected to the curing activity of incubation at elevated temperature (43 centigrade). Of the seven isolates six tested positive for the elimination of the antibiotic resistance. Of the six isolates which were cured of their resistance, five lost all of their resistance markers while one lost four of its five resistance markers.
