Phage and Bacteriocin Investigations with Pasteurella pestis and other Bacteria

Nature volume 193, pages 397–398 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

PHAGE and bacteriocin investigations were conducted with Pasteurella pestis in attempts to discover a genetic transfer system in this species. Although unsuccessful in their main objective, these studies provided additional data supporting the view that certain Pasteurellae have a close taxonomic relationship to some of the Enterobacteria. These results are reported here.
