Abstrakt: In Neisseria meningitidis strains isolated from patients with meningococcal infection and from carriers, the presence of plasmids has been detected by the modified method of H. C. Bernboim and J. Doly. The strains have been studied with respect to their pathogenicity and sensitivity to antibacterial substances. No correlation between the presence of plasmids and pathogenicity factors, such as antilysozyme activity, the presence of hyaluronidase and the positive reaction to Congo red, resistance to penicillin, serogroup and the sources of isolation, has been established.
