RESUMO

The plasmid profile and BamHI restriction pattern of 17 sorbitol-negative and 1 sorbitol-positive French Yersinia ruckeri strain of the American type strain were studied. The 17 sorbitol-negative strains and the American strain harbored a 62-megadalton (MDa) plasmid with an identical BamHI restriction pattern. Southern hybridization indicated that this 62-MDa plasmid is common among these various strains. The sorbitol-positive strain had four plasmid bands (70, 62, 32, and 25 MDa), and there was no comigration of the DNA fragments of these cleaved plasmids with the fragments of the 62-MDa plasmid. Hybridization of these restricted plasmids with the common 62-MDa plasmid showed a weak DNA homology. The Y. ruckeri plasmid (62 MDa) had a different molecular weight than the virulence plasmid (42 to 47 MDa) of the genus Yersinia, and they had different BamHI restriction patterns. Furthermore, no sequence of the Y. ruckeri plasmid DNA was recognized after Southern hybridization when the 47-MDa plasmid of Y. enterocolitica was used as a probe.
