Abstract
SUMMARY. The introduction of four different R plasmids into an aerogenic strain of Shigella flexneri serotype 6 resulted in changes in the amount of gas produced and in the range of carbohydrates from which this occurred. The possible causes of these changes and their implications for bacterial identification are discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
