| Description |
Four outbreak strains of Vibrio cholerae 0139 from endemic areas of India and
Bangladesh were found to carry lysogenic phage(s). All of these phage(s) produced turbid
plaques characteristic of lysogeny on V. cholerae MAK 757 (El Tor, Ogawa) cells as well as
on their VcA- 1 lysogens but were unable to infect V. cholerae 154 (classical) cells, the universal
host for all classical phages. Colonies in the turbid plaques were 0139 lysogens and these
developed an auxotrophic requirement, mainly for purines suggesting the integration of the
prophage into the host chromosome. The immunity profile of the 0139 phage(s) was similar
to that of phage a but differed in the sensitivity of the phage lysogen of V. cholerae MAK 757
to subsequent infection by phage p.
