title: Occurrence of a large plasmid in a strain of Plesiomonas shigelloides with cross-reactivity against Shigella sonnei.
abstract: The plasmid profile of P. shigelloides SVC 01, strain with cross-reactivity with Sh. sonnei, (obtained from Dr Alf Lindberg, Stockholm University, Sweden), was assayed and compared with other local isolates of Plesiomonas spp. and also with Sh. sonnei. Diversity in occurrence of plasmids among different strains of P. shigelloides were observed. Further, the SVC 01 strain and Sh. sonnei differ in their plasmid profile.
