摘要：

Ten human Coxiella burnetii isolates from french patients with acute hepatitis or chronic endocarditis were characterized according to their polymorphism in DNA restriction patterns and differentiated by plasmid-specific PCR. The aim of this investigation was to clarify if the present classification of so called 'acute' and 'chronic' Coxiella burnetii isolates - based on plasmid profile of a so far limited number of partly ancient isolates - could be confirmed with lately isolated organisms of this agent. The data obtained in this investigation indicate that this classification based on C. burnetii plasmid content is no longer justified.
