- The bacteriophage in relation to Salmonella pullora infection in the domestic fowl. Pyle, N.J. (1936). J. Bacteriol. 12:245-261. The purpose of this work has been first to study the intestinal contents, fluids and tissues from the domestic fowl, and to locate and identify in these materials a bacteriophage, lytic for Salmonella pullora (Bacterium pullorum Rettger). ¶ Secondly, methods have been employed for increasing the lytic activity of the avian bacteriophage in vitro, to the end of using it as a therapeutic reagent in avian therapeutics. ¶ From the data presented and the observations made, the following conclusions appear to be justified. ¶ 1. Tissues of the domestic fowl do contain bacteriophages causing lysis of various strains of Salmonella pullora. ¶ 2. Up to the present time, although these avian "phages" are lytic for Salmonella pullora, it has not been demonstrated that they are specific for this organism. ¶ 3. When agar slant cultures of Salmonella pullora are treated with liquid cultures of these avian bacteriophages which are lytic for Salmonella pullora, watery, moth-eaten or pellucid areas are demonstrated. This fact, together with the demonstration of the transmission of bacteriophagy for Salmonella pullora in series would indicate that the transmissible bacteriolysis is a living ultra-microscopic entity. These reactions of the avian bacteriophage are characteristic of d'Herelle's "Bacteriophagum Intestinale." ¶ 4. Although the bacteriophages isolated and studied have demonstrated marked bacteriolysis in vitro, the evidence from animal experiments does not indicate that as now prepared and used that they have much therapeutic effect in freeing the bird's body of infection. ¶ 5. Bacteriophages actively bacteriolytic for Salmonella pullora have been isolated from domestic fowls showing a high agglutinative titre for this organism. ["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]
