[The characteristic of the colispecific bacteriocins of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora Ec153].

It has been shown for the first time that macromolecular carotovoricins from Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora Ec153 strain are active to Escherichia coli and posses endonuclease activity. It has been established that 19.1% of strains isolated from the patients are sensitive to these bacteriocins. The type and the form of these particles have been also determined and they show resemblance with phage objects.
