Abstract

Four distinctive plasmid profile types have been identified in strains of Salmonella gold-coast isolated in Britain. Strains of one type, designated plasmid profile type 4, caused an extensive outbreak of food-poisoning in 1984, and it has been confirmed that the vehicle of infection was imported French pâté.
