[The isolation and characteristics of cloned strains of Pseudomonas pseudomallei phages]. 1995

I I Denisov, and V I Kapliev

On the basis of museum strains of the melioidosis agent Pseudomonas pseudomallei, 14 pure lines of bacteriophages were isolated belonging to morphological groups IV and V according to the classification by A. S. Tikhonenko. These phages show a broad bacteriolytic range as far as museum P. pseudomallei cultures are concerned. It was determined that some phages isolated from the same melioidosis culture and belonging to the same morphological type display different bacteriolytic activity. It is demonstrated that some strains of melioidosis agent are characterized by polylysogeny.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008242	Lysogeny	The phenomenon by which a temperate phage incorporates itself into the DNA of a bacterial host, establishing a kind of symbiotic relation between PROPHAGE and bacterium which results in the perpetuation of the prophage in all the descendants of the bacterium. Upon induction (VIRUS ACTIVATION) by various agents, such as ultraviolet radiation, the phage is released, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium.
