Abstract
A set of ten V. cholerae ElTor phages is in routine use for phage typi ng of V. cholerae O1 biotype ElTor strains. These phages were used, in rabbit ileal loop experiment to investigate whether these phages have any prophylactic value as regards their lytic capability on V. choler ae strains. The phages were found to have no prophylactic use as they were unable to lyse the standard bacterial strain V. cholerae MAK 757.
