Abstract

When incubated at 37[degree] C all 9 strains ofM. avium were phage resistant; at 42[degree] C, 6 of 9 strains were phage susceptible. These findings give additional phages for the typing of M. avium and provides a virus-host system for the study of factors governing the susceptibility of cells to viral invasion.
