RESUMO
Restriction endonuclease analysis and heteroduplex studies indicate that the only difference between the 5.3-kilobase (kb) and 7.4-kb plasmids from beta-lactamase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae is that the latter is the 5.3-kb plasmid with a 2.1-kb insertion. The insertion is bounded by inverted repeats of approximately 300 base pairs. Several plasmids from beta-lactamase-producing N. gonorrhoeae isolated at different times and in different countries were compared. Nine 5.3-kb plasmids were examined and found to be indistinguishable, as were sixteen 7.4-kb plasmids.
