Abstract: The incompatibility plasmids of 101 strains Salmonella typhimurium were detected by PCR-based replicon typing. Eighteen pairs of primers were designed to perform 5 triplex-PCRs and 3 simplex-PCRs, recognizing FIA, FIB, FIC, HI1, HI2, I1, L/M, N, P, W, T, A/C, K, B/O, X, Y, F and FII. 94 strains (93.1%) Salmonella typhimurium carried a total of 10 Inc groups. The results suggested that the method was applicable for a large number of strains to trace the diffusion of specific multi-drug resistance plasmids in different environments.

Key words: Salmonella typhimurium; plasmid typing; incompatibility plasmid
