[Phage conversion of escherichia and shigella antigens. I. Phage conversion of type I antigen of Sh. flexneri in entrophatogenic E. coli O129].
The authors realized conversion of type I Sh. flexneri in enteropathogenic E. coli O129 with converting moderate phage phi I Sh. flexneri. Phage phi I lysogenized 7.3--42.7% of the cells of antigenic E. coli variant O129 which lost type V antigen; conversion of the type I antigen of Sh. flexneri was revealed in the agglutination and adsorption of agglutinins tests. As a result, E. coli strain was obtained with the O-antigen identical to the O-antigen of Sh. flexneri Ia.
