dc.description.abstract	Fifty-three Aeromonas strains and 16 Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from subjects with diarrhoea in Lagos were screened for the presence of plasmids. Nine (17%) of the Aeromonas strains and one (6.3%) of the P. shigelloides harboured one or more plasmids, ranging in size from 2.4 to 16.8 MDa. As has been documented in other enteropathogens, the possibilities are that these plasmids code for some factors to enhance the virulence of their hosts.	en_US
