Abstract
A LYSOGENIC strain of Proteus species was detected by Fejgin in 19241 but no systematic attempt has ever been made to ascertain the prevalence of such strains. We have investigated the incidence of lysogeny using 23 Proteus strains for which we have previously isolated lytic phages from sewage2; media used have been previously described2,3.
