The plasmid patterns of 90 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (including 39 penicillinase-producing strains) originating from various countries in Africa were determined. Serogrouping by coagglutination and auxotyping were used to characterise the isolates. The 4.4-megadalton plasmid was present in seven isolates out of 39 penicillinase-producing strains, two of which occurred with a conjugative 24.5-megadalton plasmid. The African strains were predominantly serogroup WI and wild type. Arginine-dependent isolates were as common as proline-dependent types.
对来自非洲各国的90株淋病奈瑟菌(包括39株产青霉素酶菌株)的质粒图谱进行了测定。采用协同凝集血清学分型和营养分型对分离株进行鉴定。在39株产青霉素酶菌株中,有7株含有4.4兆道尔顿质粒,其中2株同时含有24.5兆道尔顿的接合性质粒。非洲菌株主要为血清群WI和野生型。精氨酸依赖型分离株与脯氨酸依赖型分离株一样常见。
