Abstract
Salmonella typhi Vi typing phages were used to transduce temperature-s ensitive (Ts) mutants of Salmonella typhi. Antibiotic resistance and T s+ markers were transduced at high frequency (>10(-4) per virulent pha ge). Several markers were cotransduced by phage Vi I, suggesting that it may be useful for mapping studies of the S. typhi genome.
