LYSOGENY IN STAPHYLOCOCCI

ABSTRACT

BLAIR, JOHN E. (Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, N. Y.) AND MIRIAM CARR. Lysogeny in staphylococci. J. Bacteriol. 82:984–993. 1961.—Changes in the phage typing patterns of strains of staphylococci of the 80/81-52/52A/80/81 complex and of phage group III were produced by lysogenization with temperate phages derived from selected strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The phages used were of the serological groups A, B, and F. Certain changes of phage pattern were related to serologically specific prophage immunity; others were nonspecific, or resulted from the conversion of a strain from partial resistance to full sensitivity to certain typing phages. In addition to an alteration of their phage typing pattern, the lysogenization of certain strains by appropriate phages effected a reversal of their susceptibility to penicillin. The capacity to produce toxin was conferred upon certain nontoxigenic strains by lysogenization with a phage derived from a toxigenic strain.
