Abstract
Hertman, I.
(Israel Institute for Biological Research, Ness Ziona, Israel). Bacteriophage common to
Pasteurella pestis
and
Escherichia coli
. J. Bacteriol.
88:
1002–1005. 1964.—Phage Y of
Pasteurella pestis
and phage T
3
of
Escherichia coli
are serologically related and have common bacterial hosts. Anti-Y serum neutralizes the homologous phage and phage T
3
to a similar extent. Anti-Y serum, absorbed with T
3
, still neutralizes the activity of phage Y for
P. pestis
, but not the activity for
E. coli
B/r. A mutant of phage Y was isolated from turbid plaques formed on
P. pestis
at 27 C. This mutant infected
P. pestis
only if this organism had been grown at 27 C; it lost its infectivity towards
E. coli
B/r and was not neutralized by anti-T
3
serum. From this phage, additional mutants were isolated on
P. pestis
, some of which were infective for both
P. pestis
and
E. coli
B/r and some of which remained infective for
P. pestis
only. The reacquired infectivity for
E. coli
B/r was neutralized by anti-T
3
serum. The name T
3
P is suggested for phage Y.
