Abstract excerpt
Ninety-one Shigella flexneri and 29 Shigella sonnei strains isolated during 1994 from sporadic cases of shigellosis and healthy carriers were analyzed for plasmid profile in order to compare the discriminating ability of this method with that of serotyping and phage typing. Our study revealed 10 plasmid profiles (PP) among S. sonnei strains. A total of 26 out of 29 (89%) S. sonnei isolates could be placed into...
