title: [The plasmid profile of Neisseria meningitidis strains].
abstract: The distribution of plasmids in N. meningitidis strains according to their origin and serological groups has been studied. Plasmids have been discovered in N. meningitidis of all groups, plasmid-carrying strains constituting 55% of strains isolated from healthy carriers and 46.2% of strains isolated from patients. The molecular weight of N. meningitidis plasmid DNA varies from 2.9 MD to 95 MD.
