  • Title: Isolation and partial characterization of temperature bacteriophages from enteropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli 0111:K58.
    Author: Sezzano P, Raimondi A, Pessina A, Neri MG.
    Journal: Acta Virol; 1985 Jan; 29(1):73-8. PubMed ID: 2859765.
    Abstract:
    We report studies on ten strains of Escherichia coli 0111:K58 isolated from children with acute diarrhea. Our results show that these E. coli strains do not produce the pathogenic factors of enterotoxic E. coli (ETEC) and are lysogenic for phages belonging to two groups that differ for host range, kinetics of thermal inactivation, antigenicity and morphology. These data support the hypothesis that these phages may in vivo contribute to reduction of the number of common E. coli strains by lytic infection favouring the development of the enteropathogenic strain of E. coli.
