title: Plasmid analysis in PPNG strains isolated in Italy.
abstract: Italian reports of PPNG strains are rare. In this paper we report the plasmidial characteristics of two strains: one harbouring 3.2 and 2.6 Mdal plasmids and the other 24.5, 4.5 and 2.6 Mdal plasmids. Restriction analysis was carried out on plasmids transferred to E. coli by transformation for "Africa" and conjugation for "Asia" plasmid.
