Abstract
Nine S. Enteritidis strains, which were mainly poultry isolates, were characterized by studying: their virulence and plasmid profile. AIL th e nine strains were found to be lethal to mice when inoculated intrape ritoneally and E 2440 strain was found to be the most virulent. All th e strains possessed a single plasmid of approximately 36 MDa (54 kb) s ize which appeared to be the same as serotype-specific plasmid reporte d earlier. Besides, strain E 2442 has been found to possess three addi tional plasmids of sizes approximately 16.5 MDa (24.8 kb), 6 MDa (9 kb ) and 2 MDa (3 kb).
