A generalized transducing phage of Pseudomonas cepacia

A generalized transducing phage, named CP75, was derived from a lysogenic strain of Pseudomonas cepacia. The frequency of transduction per phage particle ranged from 1.0 X 10(-6) to 2.0 X 10(-6) for a given marker. About half of the 105 P. cepacia strains tested were sensitive to the phage. The molecular size of the CP75 genome was approximately 52 kb.
