Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa transposable bacteriophages D3112 and B3 were found to require pili for infection. Seventy mutants of P. aeruginosa PAO selected by resistance to D3112 or B3 were also resistant to the phage not used in the selection and suggested that the receptors of these two phages are identical. Of five resistant mutants examined, all were defective in the production of pili and did not adsorb either...
