Usefulness of plasmid profiles for differentiation of Shigella isolates in Bangladesh

C O Tacket et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1984 Aug.

Abstract

We studied the plasmid profiles of 136 Shigella isolates in Bangladesh to determine whether plasmid profiles could be used for differentiation of strains for epidemiological studies. Many different plasmid patterns were observed within each species, indicating that many genetically different strains of Shigella are responsible for illness in Bangladesh.
