Study of plasmid screening amongst pathogenic bacteria isolated in Nigeria.
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.
