N2 - Four strains of Salmonella berta and one of Salm. enteritidis were stored as stab cultures in sugar‐free agar at 5°, 22° and 30°C and in 15% glycerol at—80°C. The stability of the plasmid profiles in each of the strains was monitored over a period of 2·5 years. Plasmid profiles were stable in all strains stored at—80°C, and only six of 450 colonies examined from strains kept in sugar‐free agar at 5°C had lost plasmid molecules. Seventy of 440 colonies from stab cultures that were kept at 22°C, and 71 of 440 colonies at 30°C showed changed plasmid profiles. The total number of plasmids lost increased with time, and occasionally, more than one plasmid molecule was lost in the same strain. The virulence associated plasmid of Salm. enteritidis was remarkably stable as it was maintained in all colonies examined at all temperatures investigated. Likewise, no change in SmaI restriction profile was observed in this plasmid molecule at any temperature.
