Elimination of virulence plasmids of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis as affected by fluoroquinolones
1996
: Pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin were shown to induce elimination of the virulence plasmids in the strains of Y. pseudotuberculosis. Pefloxacin had a more pronounced eliminating effect than ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin. The elimination of the virulence plasmids with the molecular weight of 40-50 MD in the strains of Y. pseudotuberculosis was more frequent at the subinhibitory concentrations of the fluoroquinolones or at 1/4 of the fluoroquinolone MIC., At 1/8 of the MIC it was rarer. The virulence plasmid elimination in the strains was observed in spite of their serovar but was more frequent in the serovar 1B strains.
