Lysogenic conversion in Staphylococcus aureus to leucocidin production.
A Staphylococcus aureus strain was successively cured of three prophages. A lysogenic conversion by a group A phage to production of Panton-Valentine leucocidin and by a group F phage to staphylokinase production could be demonstrated.
