Abstract
The distribution of plasmids in N. meningitidis strains according to t heir origin and serological groups has been studied. Plasmids have bee n discovered in N. meningitidis of all groups, plasmid-carrying strain s constituting 55% of strains isolated from healthy carriers and 46.2% of strains isolated from patients. The molecular weigth of N. meningi tidis plasmid DNA varies from 2.9 MD to 95 MD.
