Adsorption of mycobacteriophages on Mycobacterium leprae: taxonomic significance. 1982

H L David, and S Clavel, and F Clément

The following bacteriophages were shown to adsorb on Mycobacterium leprae: BK1, Clark, Sedge, Baits, Watson and D29. Bacteriophages that did not adsorb on the leprosy bacilli were Bg1, Legendre, Marshall, Panetti, Leo and Wiseman. The taxonomic significance of these findings and some prospective consequences of these investigations are discussed.
