Plasmid DNA relatedness among different serogroups of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. 1985

N Ishiguro, and Y Nakaoka, and G Sato, and M Tsubokura

Thirteen different serogroup strains of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and two strains of Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 were examined for the presence of plasmids and plasmid-mediated properties, calcium growth dependency, and autoagglutination. Two Y. enterocolitica strains and eight serogroup (IA, IIA, IIC, III, IVA, VB, VI, and VIII) strains, except for five serogroups (IB, IIB, IVB, VA, and VII), of Y. pseudotuberculosis harbored plasmids ranging in molecular size from 27 to 115 kilobases. Filter hybridization of restriction endonuclease-digested plasmid DNA from different serogroup strains indicated that all plasmid DNAs conferring calcium growth dependency and autoagglutination shared a high degree of DNA sequence homology, regardless of the different serogroups of Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid

D014774 Virulence The degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host. The pathogenic capacity of an organism is determined by its VIRULENCE FACTORS. Pathogenicity
D015007 Yersinia A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic rod- to coccobacillus-shaped bacteria that occurs in a broad spectrum of habitats.
