Abstract excerpt
The serotype F phage Phi42 of Staphylococcus aureus is a triple-converting bacteriophage that encodes the staphylokinase gene (sak) and the enterotoxin A gene (entA). Lysogeny results in loss of expression of the chromosomal beta-haemolysin gene (hlb) (negative conversion), the expression of staphylokinase and enterotoxin A (positive conversion), and the acquisition of resistance to lysis by all 23 phages of the...
