Abstract

Kameda, Mitsuo (Gunma University, Maebashi, Japan), Kenji Harada, Mitsue Suzuki, and Susumu Mitsuhashi. Drug resistance of enteric bacteria. V. High frequency of transduction of R factors with bacteriophage epsilon. J. Bacteriol. 90:1174-1181. 1965.-In the transduction of R factors with phage epsilon(15), a lysate capable of transducing the markers for (TC) or (CM.SM.SA) resistance at high frequency was obtained. The transducing agent is a defective element called epsilon(15)dR(23) which lacks certain functions of phage epsilon(15). After lysogenization with normal epsilon(15) phage and ultraviolet (UV) induction, strains carrying the epsilon(15)dR(23) element produce lysates which have a high frequency of transduction (HFT) on group E(1)Salmonella. Lytic lysates prepared on phage epsilon(15) sensitive strain with the epsilon(15)dR(23) element have a low frequency of transduction (LFT). Lytic growth of phage epsilon(34) on an epsilon(15)dR(23) strain or UV induction of an epsilon(34) lysogenic strain containing epsilon(15)dR(23) results in LFT lysates on group E(2)Salmonella. On UV induction, group E(2)Salmonella (epsilon(15) lysogens) with the epsilon(15)dR(23) element give lysates which are HFT on group E(1)Salmonella but are...Continue Reading

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
