Abstract

Bacteriophages were isolated from twelve lysogenic strains of Streptococcus equi. Based on sensitivity data and antiserum neutralization tests, the phage isolates were divided into two distinct but related groups. All twelve phage change the colonial morphology of S. equi from mucoid to matt. Possible phage-mediated effects on S. equi virulence are discussed.

摘要

从12株马链球菌溶原性菌株中分离出噬菌体。根据敏感性数据和抗血清中和试验，将分离出的噬菌体分为两个不同但相关的组。所有12种噬菌体均使马链球菌的菌落形态从黏液状变为粗糙状。文中讨论了噬菌体对马链球菌毒力可能的介导作用。
