Abstract excerpt
Unlike most beta-related phages isolated from Corynebacterium diphtheriae, phage 782 readily plaqued on strains of C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis.

Using chemical mutagenesis, a number of phage mutants were isolated which had diminished capacities to infect C. ulcerans, suggesting...
