  • Title: Plasmid profiles as an epidemiological marker for Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis foodborne outbreaks.
    Author: Luján R, Echeita A, Usera MA, Martínez-Suárez JV, Alonso R, Sáez-Nieto JA.
    Journal: Microbiologia; 1990 Jun; 6(1):45-50. PubMed ID: 2206470.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of enteritidis serotype of Salmonella enterica in salmonellae infections has steadily increased in Spain from 27.1% in 1982 up to 63.4% in 1987. Given this high incidence, we have studied the plasmid profiles of Enteritidis isolates to subclassify them. Different profiles were observed in 50 isolates. In 13 Enteritidis serotype outbreaks, up to 5 different plasmid profiles were found. Each outbreak correlated with a single plasmid profile except in one case where plasmids of two different profiles were observed in strains from the same outbreak.
