Use of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis to examine genetic relationships amongst isolates of Mycobacterium intracellulare and related species
Article Abstract:
Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) was used to examine genetic relationships at 17 enzyme loci among Australian clinical isolates and reference strains identified as Mycobacterium intracellulare. MLEE was found useful for the genetic analysis of M. intracellulare isolates and related mycobateria. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was also applied to selected isolates from the electrophoretic types containing multiple isolates.

The roles of plasmids in phytopathogenic bacteria: mobile arsenals?
Article Abstract:
This review examines the role played by the plasmids in the development of pathogenicity, the production of toxins and hormones, and resistance to bactericides in phytopathogenic bacteria. Areas for further research in plasmid biology with respect to molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity and how plasmids circumvent host defences are identified.
