Plasmid profile typing provides a method for the differentiation of strains of Salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 isolated in Turkey.
Five phage types have been identified in 38 strains of Salmonella enteritidis isolated in Turkey in the 20-month period June 1992-January 1994. Strains belonging to phage type 4 predominated. Within phage type 4, plasmid profile typing has proved a useful method of strain discrimination and has confirmed the identity of a putative outbreak involving canteen workers in an industrial complex.
