Possession of identical nonconjugative plasmids by different isolates of Pasteurella multocida does not imply clonality.

Abstract excerpt

Experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that possession of the same nonconjugative R plasmid by different isolates of Pasteurella multocida implied that they were of the same clone. Seven isolates of P. multocida were studied, two possessed an identical nonconjugative R plasmid (pVM109), four possessed another (pVM110), and one isolate possessed a nonconjugative R plasmid related to pVM110. Phenotypic...
