ABSTRACT
Alkylation of T7 bacteriophage by methyl methane sulfonate blocked superinfection exclusion. This blockage could be correlated with a delay in the synthesis of phage-specific proteins. Therefore we conclude that protein synthesis directed by the primary infecting phage is required for efficient exclusion of superinfecting phage particles.
