The possibility that a plasmid carried by Klebsiella pneumoniae plays a role in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis was explored. K. pneumoniae K21 contains a congruent to 25-kb plasmid, but this plasmid is not present in lymphocyte DNAs of ankylosing spondylitis HLA-B27 patients, as demonstrated by molecular hybridization experiments.
