title: Isolation of bacterial plasmid-related replication-associated circular DNA from a serum sample of a multiple sclerosis patient.
abstract: Psychrobacter species are considered to be opportunistic human pathogens. We report here the isolation of a circular DNA molecule, MSSI1.162, from a serum sample taken from a multiple sclerosis patient during relapse. This isolate is distantly related to known Psychrobacter species and their plasmids.
