Effect of superinfection on phage sensitivity in staphylococci

ABSTRACT IT has been known for some time that the sensitivity of bacteria to lysis by bacteriophage is conditioned among other things by the presence of lysogenic infection with one or more

bacteriophages. Various workers1–3 have shown that when sensitive cultures were lysogenically infected with typing or even unrelated phages they undergo a change of phage type, the change

being a diminution in the number of phages capable of lysing the bacterial cell. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
