Features of infection brought on Salmonella enteritidis with no virulence plasmids
Abstract
During the period from 1995 till 2005 Salmonella enteritidis strains with no virulence plasmids reached 3.3% (171 strains) of all the strains under study. As the tests conducted with polymerase chain reaction showed, S. enteritidis strains which did not contain plasmids of 38 MDA in weight, had been at the same time those that did not contain virulence plasmids. The plasmids of other molecular weight did not have an effect on phenotypic properties of a microorganism. The Salmonella infection provoked by S. enteritidis with no virulence plasmids was characterized by milder gastroenteritic clinical course, decreased dehydration rate and infectious toxic shock syndrome, as well as by many cases of the bacteria carrying.
