[Evaluation of relations between plasmids and phage host range among clinical isolates of Enterobacter cloacae].
The aim of this study was evaluation the plasmid influence on phage host range of clinical strains of Enterobacter cloacae. We found that strains included in restrictive pattern A, displayed reduced host range. Such reduced sensitivity make these strains excellent candidates for search restrictive-modification systems. High discriminative efficacy of isolated phages (specific for strains Enterobacter cloacae) make them useful tool for phage typing in epidemiological investigations.
