Plasmid profile analysis of bovine isolates of Pasteurella haemolytica.
Pasteurella haemolytica isolates, obtained from cattle with respiratory tract disease, were characterized as to serotype, antimicrobial susceptibility, and plasmid content. Strains isolated from 2 groups of cattle were compared. Remarkable similarity was seen in the plasmid profiles of isolates of the same serotype. In contrast, isolates of 2 different serotypes had totally different plasmid profiles.
