objectives: The comparison of total and cytoplamic protein patterns
between Salmonella abortusovis strains isolated from Iran.
Design: Electrophoretic study of protiens. Samples: Salmonella abortusovis strains isolated from Iran. Procedure: Total proteins were prepared by sonication with a microbrobe. Cytoplasmic proteins were percipitated by the addition
of 3 volumes of acetone. Total and cytoplasmic extracted proteins
were analysed by SDS-PAGE and silver staining.
Results: The results showed that there were considerable differences between total protein profile of S. abortusovis strains. The cytoplasmic protein patterns were similar among the strains.
Conclusion: The protein profile differences and number of protein bands are showed in figure and tables. Infact this variations indicating a certain genotypic distance between bacterial strains that isolated
from different geographical area of Iran and may be usful for
describing the epidemiology or at least genetic relatedness of Salmonella abortusovis wild types. .1. Fac. VeL Med Univ. Tehran. 59, 2: 147-151, 2004
