ABSTRACT
Ten Felix O1 (FO1) bacteriophage sensitive Salmonella strains as well as their phage resistant derivates together with 39 strains of FO1-resistant Salmonella were tested for their reactivities with a murine monoclonal antibody, M105, by indirect whole cell and competitive ELISA. All FO1 phage sensitive and 48 of the 49 FO1-resistant Salmonella strains were found to react with M105. The single Salmonella strain not reacting with M105 was a FO1 resistant derivative selected by exposing the sensitive parent strain to the phage. This M105-negative and FO1-resistant strain was also found to be a rough mutant without O-antigens and possibly lacks the terminal LPS core sugars which form the M105 reactive epitope.
