Abstract excerpt
In the course of a lytic infection the Salmonella phage P22 occasionally encapsulates bacterial DNA instead of phage DNA. Thus, phage lysates include two classes of viral particles. Phage particles carrying bacterial DNA are referred to as transducing particles and deliver this DNA to a host as efficiently as particles carrying phase DNA. Once injected, the transduced DNA can either recombine with the recipient...
