The DNA of Rickettsia prowazekii vaccine strain E was analysed by restriction analysis with 17 endonucleases in comparison with its virulent revertant - Evir and the virulent reference strain Breinl. The DNA of cloned and uncloned strains showed identical restriction endonuclease patterns. In spite of stable differences in virulence, strains E and Evir displayed a totally identical DNA cleavage pattern indicating the absence of marked structural differences between their genomes. On the other hand 9 endonucleases showed differences in the restrictograms of the DNA strain Breinl as compared with strains E and Evir.
