Abstract excerpt
The performance of Salmonella typhimurium WG49 and Escherichia coli HS(pFamp)R was compared on detecting the different genotypes of F-specific RNA bacteriophages by plaque hybridisation. The sensitivity of this assay was also compared with the sensitivity of RT-PCR followed by Southern blotting for detecting F-specific RNA bacteriophages belonging to genotype III in water. S. typhimurium WG49 detected slightly...
