Abstract

A method is described for the in situ detection of individual whole fixed cells of Escherichia coli containing ColE1-related plasmids. It makes use of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and the regulatory RNA II as a target molecule for both, Cy3- and HRP-labeled olinucleotide probes. Various methods for signal amplification were compared. Probes targeting the regulatory RNA I did not result in the in situ detection of plasmid-bearing cells.
