The production of MSHA+ (type-1 fimbriate) recombinants was observed in transductional crosses between different pairs of naturally occurring strains of Salmonella paratyphi B. MSHA+ recombinants were readily produced in transductions from MSHA+ donor strains to MSHA− (type-2 fimbriate or non-fimbriate) recipient strains, and less frequently between some pairs of MSHA− strains. The genetic evidence suggests that there are at least three different clones among MSHA− strains of S. paratyphi B. Relationships between the different strains and their possible origins are discussed.
