To determine whether Shigellaflexneri strains that cause enteric infection and are associated with reactive arthritis (ReA) carry a 2-Md plasmid, pHS-2, which encodes an HLA-B27 mimetic epitope. Methods. Plasmid DNA from Shigella isolates was characterized by DNA-DNA hybridization, restriction endo
