title: [Isolation and characteristics of new nonlysogenic bacteriophages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa].
abstract: A large group of nonlysogenic bacteriophages specific for Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. According to their absorption characteristics and serological properties, the phages were subdivided into four groups: luminal diameter k, luminal diameter m, luminal diameter mnP78 and luminal diameter mnF82. Within each of the groups, the phages were similar in the morphology of their particles and certain physiological characteristics. The luminal diameter m phages were similar to the P. aeruginosa bacteriophage E79 in their adsorption properties and antigenic specificity. The phages of the other groups differed in the above characteristics from the known P. aeruginosa bacteriophages. The effect of some plasmids on the growth of bacteriophages luminal diameter k, luminal diameter m, luminal diameter mnP78 and luminal diameter mnF82 was studied. The growth of new bacteriophages on certain plasmid-containing strains was inhibited in some cases.
