[The sensitivity of Yersinia to bacteriophage Mu].

Rakin Av, Kazachenko Lk

Abstract

Various representatives of the genus Yersinia were found to differ in their sensitivity to the lytic action of bacteriophage Mu cts62, which could serve as an auxiliary test for the differentiation of Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis. Among the strains under study, the causative agents of plague (34 strains) were sensitive to phage Mu cts62, while the causative agents of enteric yersiniosis (42 strains) and pseudotuberculosis (73 strains), except 3 strains with the properties of Y. pestis, were resistant to this phage.
