[Phenotypic and genotypic properties of 4 virulence plasmids of Salmonella typhimurium].

Virulence-associated plasmids pLT2, pIP1350, pIP1360 and pIP1370 coded for the fi+ character. These plasmids did not code for the synthesis of classical adhesins, aerobactin or colicins. Nor did they mediate resistance to the metals Hg, Te, As, Cd or flavomycin. Plasmids pLT2, pIP1350 and pIP1370 contained DNA sequences homologous to the incFIIA and incFIB replicons. Plasmid pIP1360 contained a single sequence homologous to incFIIA replicon.

[Epidemiology of Salmonella typhimurium biotype 6 strains, isolated in Belgium from 1969 to 1982].

Strains of S. typhimurium biotype 6 possess neither tetrathionate reductase nor arginine dihydrolase; they use trehalose, but not inositol and glycerol. Most are multi-resistant to antibiotics and are responsible for numerous outbreaks of salmonellosis. They have been divided into four groups. Groups I includes strains of phage type 207, and was predominant in Belgium from 1969 to 1976. Group II includes strains of a classical variety belonging to phage types 49, 193 and 204. Group III includes strains of the copenhagen variety belonging to the same phage types. Strains of groups II and III are generally resistant to trimethoprim. They have predominated in Belgium since 1978 (mainly phage type 193). Group IV contains a few strains of various phage types, generally non-resistant, which have caused no epidemics.

[Selective citrate-adonitol medium for the isolation of various strains of Escherichia coli K99].

Simmons citrate agar supplemented with 0.2% adonitol (SCA medium) was used as a differential medium for some enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli: all strains with either a cryptic K99 antigen or a glucose-dependent K99 antigen and 70% of strains with a glucose-independent K99 antigen gave yellow colonies on SCA medium. Other faecal bacteria did not grow or else developed as blue colonies.

[Plasmids of incompatibility group H among multiresistant "Salmonella" (author's transl)].

A total of 449 multiresistant strains of Salmonella recently isolated from human beings and animals in France and in Belgium and belonging to 21 serotypes, were screened for the presence of IncH R plasmids. These plasmids were identified in 236 strains belonging to 14 different serotypes: mainly S. typhimurium, S. schwarzengrund and S. saint-paul, but not in S. dublin nor S. kedougou. The IncH R plasmids confer resistance to four or more drugs and to tellurium compounds. The properties of 14 plasmids were studied by genetic methods and agarose gel electrophoresis following digestion with EcoRI: they showed a great degree of relatedness.
