SEROLOGY, DENSITY, AND MORPHOLOGY OF STAPHYLOCOCCAL PHAGES.

Abstract

Rosenblum, E. D. (The University of Texas, Dallas), and Sue Tyrone. Serology, density, and morphology of staphylococcal phages. J. Bacteriol. 88:1737-1742. 1964.-A correlation between serology, buoyant density, and morphology has been demonstrated for six serological groups of staphylococcal phages. Four morphological types have been observed and represent the following serological groups: (i) group A, (ii) groups B, F, and L, (iii) group D, and (iv) group G. The correlations were useful in the detection of serological variation among several staphylococcal typing phages.
