title: Study of plasmid screening amongst pathogenic bacteria isolated in Nigeria.
abstract: Clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella boydii, Yersinia spp. and Salmonella spp. were screened for the presence of plasmids. Approximately 80% of these strains harboured plasmids ranging in molecular weight from 1.0 to 45 x 10(6) daltons.
