[Characterization of B-type bacteriophages adsorbed on Pseudomonas aeruginosa pili].

Pilus-dependent B-morphotype bacteriophages isolated from various sources were studied. The adsorption of phages on Pseudomonas aeruginosa pili was proven. Electron-microscopic examination of the morphology of phages was carried out, and the adsorption properties were partially described. It was suggested that adsorption apparatuses of different pilus-dependent B-phages are alike with respect to structure and function.
