Large plasmids (120 to 140 megadaltons) associated with virulence of Shigella sonnei, S. flexneri 2a and S. dysenteriae 1 were transferred from each strain into Escherichia coli K-12 and avirulent S. flexneri 1b strains by ampicillin transposon (Tn1)-mediated conduction. Strains with the virulence plasmid could penetrate tissue culture cells irrespective of the original host of the plasmid.
与宋内志贺菌、福氏志贺菌2a和痢疾志贺菌1型毒力相关的大质粒(120至140兆道尔顿)通过氨苄青霉素转座子(Tn1)介导的传导从每个菌株转移到大肠杆菌K-12和无毒力的福氏志贺菌1b菌株中。携带毒力质粒的菌株能够穿透组织培养细胞,而与质粒的原始宿主无关。
