Abstract
The prevalence of
Escherichia coli
carrying resistance factors (R factors) was examined in meat-consuming individuals and in those not consuming meat (vegetarians and babies below the age of 6 months). Assuming that the transport of resistant
E. coli
from animals through meat and meat products to the human consumer is most important, with regard to the incidence of resistant
E. coli
in man, we expected a significant difference in the proportions of people with resistant
E. coli
between the two groups. However, the percentage with resistant
E. coli
was larger in the group of vegetarians and babies than in the group of meat-eating individuals.
