title: Biological activity & interaction of Vibrio cholerae bacteriophages in rabbit ileal loop.
abstract: A set of ten V. cholerae EITor phages is in routine use for phage typing of V. cholerae O1 biotype EITor strains. These phages were used in rabbit ileal loop experiment to investigate whether these phages have any prophylactic value as regards their lytic capability on V. cholerae strains. The phages were found to have no prophylactic use as they were unable to lyse the standard bacterial strain V. cholerae MAK 757.
