Abstract:
A study of plasmids in coryneform bacteria isolated from human sources is reported. Seventy of 269 strains possessed a total of 89 plasmids. These were shown to be of varying sizes and in some cases of varying structures by endonuclease restriction digest. In six of 20 strains antibiotic resistance was cured with loss of the plasmid. The diversity of plasmids is emphasized.
