[Classification of tailed enterobacteria phages]
Abstract
Tailed phages of enterobacteria are classified by morphological and serological properties and by physico-chemical parameters of the virion and its nuecleic acid. Twenty-four species are described; they include 250 phages belonging to seven morphological groups. Type species are proposed. About 120 poorly known phages have not been classified. A case of phage evolution, the reliability of data and the value of taxonomical criteria are discussed.
