Abstract
The results of serological and genetic analyses of 21 phages of Proteu s mirabilis and Proteus vulgaris of the new typing set confirmed their classification into morphological types Al, A2, B1, and C1 and the fa milies Myoviridae, Siphoviridae and Podoviridae. Phages and antisera r eacted and cross-reacted only within each family. In DNA-DNA hybridiza tion, DNA fragments reacted only with P-32-labelled DNA probes of thei r own families. Serological and genetic analysis showed that some phag es in the families Myoviridae and Podoviridae were so closely related that they could be considered identical.
