Salmonella gold-coast from outbreaks of food-poisoning in the British Isles can be differentiated by plasmid profiles

  • E. J. Threlfall (a1), M. L. M. Hall (a1) and B. Rowe (a1)
Summary

Four distinctive plasmid profile types have been identified in strains of Salmonella gold-coast isolated in Britain. Strains of one type, designated plasmid profile type 4, caused an extensive outbreak of food-poisoning in 1984, and it has been confirmed that the vehicle of infection was imported French pâté.
