METHOD OF DIFFERENTIATION OF EPIDEMIC AND NON-EPIDEMIC VIBRIOS SPECIES VIBRIO ELTOR BY IMMUNITY OF THEIR TEMPERATE PHAGES

摘要

FIELD: microbiology. SUBSTANCE: method involves utilization of two cultures as a test-system: Vibrio eltor 570 (KM-114) and 570/220H (KM-117). Strain KM-114 shows sensitivity to choleraic temperate phages of all known immunotypes, and subculture ( strain KM-117) shows resistance to lytic action of phages immunotype 111. In the case of detection of strain V. eltor carrying phage of immunotype 111 by use of proposed test-system they considered as suspicious with regard to epidemic ones. EFFECT: simplified primary screening-diagnosis of V. eltor.
