Survey of Plasmid Profiles of Shigella Species Isolated in Malaysia During 1994-2000

Plasmid profiling was used to characterize 219 strains of Shigellaspecies isolated from sporadic cases of shigellosis in Malaysia during the period 1994-2000. Heterogeneous plasmid patterns were observed in all Shigella spp. There was a correlation between plasmid patterns and serotypes of S. flexne...
