A422 was found to be identical in host range, adsorption pattern, physical and chemical stability and serological specificity with Tbilisi phage. M51 and S708, although, like A422 and Tbilisi, lytic for all smooth strains of Brucella abortus, were also lytic for Br. suis and Br. neotomae. All of the phages were morphologically identical with Tbilisi phage. M51 and S708 could be distinguished from each other and from A422 and Tbilisi by their serological properties. None of the phages were lytic for Br. melitensis, Br. ovis or Br. canis.", }
