FIELD: medicine, molecular biology. SUBSTANCE: method involves nucleic acid hybridization. Invention relates to preparing strain Escherichia coli C600 r-m- (pSS6 tox B') - a producer of specific DNA-probe used for differentiation of toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Strain provides high yield of plasmid DNA pSS6 tox B' which is used at DNA-DNA hybridization as specific probe. EFFECT: preparing strain indicated above, high yield of plasmid DNA.
