R-plasmids from Enterobacteriaceae clinical strains, mainly Klebsiella and Serratia, isolated at different neonatal and children's hospitals of different cities of the former USSR for 10 years, were studied for their possible influence on the bacterial host phenotype. Hospital R-plasmids of stable inheritance persisted in hospitals from 2 to 7 years and were disseminated among strains of different genera (Klebsiella, Serratia, Enterobacter) and among different units. The data showed a possibility of long-term molecular rearrangements of R-plasmids in the hospital settings and an acquisition of genetic determinants encoding enterotoxin production. A novel R-plasmid encoding cytotoxicity to HEp-2 cells involved in two nosocomial outbreaks due to K. pneumoniae strains was reported. K. pneumoniae population heterogeneity was evaluated by using the plasmid parameters of strains. Their heterogeneity of a bacterial population was significantly lower during nosocomial outbreaks than in interepidemic periods.
