THE NATURE AND INCIDENCE OF LYSOGENY IN MYCOBACTERIUM FORTUITUM [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1975 Ten of 28 strain of Mycobacterium fortuitum (ranae) were found to be associated with bacteriophage; three were pseudolysogenic, one liberated a phage that lysed a sensitive indicator strain, two liberated morphologically complete phages that did not lyse any of the strains used in this study and four liberated morphologically defective phages.
