Isolation of a phage lytic for several Brucella species following propagation of Tbilisi phage in the presence of mitomycin C.
A new brucella-phage, designated D, was isolated from a batch of Tbilisi phage grown on Brucella abortus strain 544 in the presence of mitomycin C. Although resembling Tbilisi phage in morphology, it differed in its host range, adsorption properties, chemical stability and antigenic specificity.
