THE EFFECT OF CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL AGENTS ON THE PHAGE RECEPTOR OF PHASE II SHIGELLA SONNEI

Guy T Barry 1, Walther F Goebel 1
PMCID: PMC2180335  PMID: 14888821

Abstract

A study has been made of the effect of bactericidal agents on the phage adsorption properties of Phase II. Sh. sonnei. The ability of this microorganism to adsorb T3, T4, and T7 phages can be altered by treating the bacteria with chemical and physical agents.
