Abstract
More than 30 conjugative R plasmids between 60 and 70 Md in size were identified in wild type strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolated in German Democratic Republic, Bulgaria, Mongolia, Poland, Ethiopia, Iraque, and Soviet Union. They have been characterized by means of several genetic and molecular techniques as members of a new incompatibility group, termed IncZ. The properties of these plasmids including digestion pattern after EcoRI treatment demonstrate a phylogenetic relatedness.Keywords
