Singh, V., Singh, V.P., Gupta, P.K. and Chaudhuri, P. 1996. Plasmid profile and virulence analysis of Salmonella Gallinarum Indian isolates. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 9: 129–133.
Nine clinical isolates of Salmonella Gallinarum were tested for pathogenicity and presence of the plasmids. The virulence pattern of different isolates differed in chicks and mice. All the nine isolates showed the presence of 2.5 kb plasmid. An additional plasmid of 85 kb was found to be present in all the isolates except for E2449 isolate. This isolate did not show any lethality, both in chick and mice.
