Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study aimed to characterize the impact of lytic and temperate bacteriophages on the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Mannheimia haemolytica from feedlot cattle. METHODS AND RESULTS: Strictly lytic phages were not detected from bovine nasopharyngeal (n = 689) or water trough (n = 30) samples, but Myoviridae- or Siphoviridae-like phages were induced from 54 of 72 M. haemolytica strains by mitomycin C,...
