The resistance (R)-factor R538–1drd of three F-like R-factors tested can cause the transfer of the non-transmissible ColV determinant from E. coli V. The col factor, once transferred to E. coli K-12 strains, was shown to be related to the fertility factor, F, on the basis of entry exclusion and plasmid incompatibility. The col factor was found to recombine with R538–1drd, yielding a transmissible plasmid comprised of the col determinant and the sex factor of the R-factor, but not the resistance genes. The recombinant plasmid was found to be incompatible with both R538–1drd and F, and excluded the entry of R538–1drd but not F.
