Lack of correlation between the presence of 70 kb plasmid and plasmid-associated determinants of Yersinia enterocolitica.
The relatedness between the plasmids from Yersinia enterocolitica 0:4.32 and 0.9 was examined. Plasmid 0:4.32 was found in many clinical isolates of Y. enterocolitica and was related to pYV plasmid of Y. enterocolitica 0:9. The homology between the plasmid and chromosomal DNAs of strains 0:4.32 and 0:9 was examined. The Ca(2+)-dependent expression of the OmpF and OmpC proteins is described.
