The plasmid profile, virulence and antibacterial drug susceptibility of various strains of E. rhusiopathiae were determined. No correlations between the virulence of the strains, their antibiotic resistance and the plasmid content were detected. Structural and functional analysis of one of the isolated plasmids was carried out to use the plasmid as a vector in the genetic study of E. rhusiopathiae.
