Abstract
FIZ15 bacteriophage, from a human clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, causes lysogenic conversion in the P. aeruginosa strain PAO1. The prophage-conferred phenotypes are: (1) increased resistance to phagocytosis by mouse peritoneal macrophages; (2) increased resistance to killing by normal human serum, and (3) increased adhesion to human buccal epithelial cells. These phenotypes are related to the prophage-induced change at the level of its own bacterial receptor, which appears to be the O-antigen.Entities:
