Abstract

SummaryThe conversion of non-toxinogenicCorynebacterium diphtheriaeto toxinogeny has been reviewed. The biology of converting phage and the relationship of converting phages to nonconverting phages are summarized. The significance of these findings to the natural history and evolution of diphtheria is assessed.
