Abstract
Lysogenicity and phage typability of Staphylococcus aureus L-form cells are described. Spontaneously produced phages were found in thin sections of S. aureus L colonies. The dimensions of the tail and head resemble those of the morphological group BIII2 (T. Krzywy, I. Durlakowa, A. Kucharewcz-Krukowska, S. Krynski, and S. Slopek, Zentralbl. Bakteriol. Mikrobiol. Hyg. Abt. 1 Orig. Reihe A 250:287-295, 1981). Phages 3A and 3C of the international typing set lysed both the bacillary and L form of S. aureus.Entities:
