Salmonella toxin synthesis is unrelated to the presence of temperate bacteriophages

Infect Immun. 1982 Feb;35(2):749-51. doi: 10.1128/iai.35.2.749-751.1982.

Abstract

Several strains of Salmonella were examined for an association between the capacity to produce Salmonella toxin and the presence of bacteriophages. Based on the data obtained from this study, we concluded that genetic information responsible for Salmonella toxin synthesis was not inherited by lysogenic conversion.
