1. The heat inactivation of bacteriophages. Bronfenbrenner, J.J. (1932). Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 29:802-804. [TOP OF PAGE]

2. Air dissimination of bacteriophage in relation to air borne infection. Colvin Merl, G. (1932). Am. J. Hyg. 15:247-??? [TOP OF PAGE]

3. Relationship of bacteriophage to the natural and experimental diseases of laboratory animals. Colvin, M.G. (1932). J. Infect. Dis. 51:17-29. ["Some well controlled studies (on bacteriophage therapy), both experimental and clinical, produced results that were negative or where the observed effects were not regarded as useful." Quoted from Barrow & Soothill, 1997]. [TOP OF PAGE]

4. Bacteriophage in the Treatment and Prevention of Cholera. Morison, J. (1932). H.K. Lewis, ["Early (phage therapy) studies were poor and uncontrolled. For example, in one trial, claims for benefit in cholera were based on the administration of phage to all inhabitants of villages who had diarrhoea and, in another trial, on simply pouring an undisclosed amount of phage down the village well and assessing the number of cases subjectively." quoted from Barrow & Soothill, 1997].

5. Studies with staphylococcus bacteriophage. I. The preparation of polyvalent staphylococcus bacteriophage. Rakieten, M.L. (1932). Yale J. Biol. Med. 4:807-818. [TOP OF PAGE]

6. The effect of bacteriophagy and hemotytic streptococci upon protoplasma (Paramecium). Rakieten, M.L. (1932). Yale J.Biol.Med. 4, 746-746. Paramecia served as biological test-tubes, by first rendering them bacteriologically sterile, and then placing them in environments containing bacteria and bacteriophage. Sterile paramecia which have ingested staphylococci may be cleared of these bacteria when a small amount of a powerful bacteriophage is added to the medium containing the protozoa. When sterile paramecia are allowed to remain in the medium containing bacteriophage no evicience that the animals retained this substance in their protoplasm is obtained. The reaction between bacteria and bacteriophage does not have any observable effect on paramecium either in vivo, or in the medium surrounding them. ¶ Sterile paramecia are not affected either by the autolysates or toxic products of hemolytic streptococci. In this respect they serve no purpose as biological indicators in differentiating hemolytic streptococci. [TOP OF PAGE]
