The Inhibition of Bacteriophagy by Cholesterol and by Bacterial and Non-Bacterial Phospholipids

Abstract
Cephalin, cholesterol and the bacterial phospholipids inhibited bacteriophage C13 when susceptible strains of Escherichia coli var. communior were used as the test organisms; lecithin, sphingomyelin and plasma phospholipid had no inhibitory action. Phospholipid from a strain of bacteria resistant to the lytic action of bacteriophage C13 was as active as that from a susceptible strain.
