Le bactériophage et son comportement.
Publication Details
Paris: Masson & Cie, 1926 CE.
In this book d'Hérelle reported on the results of quantitative work based on the plaque-count, and dilution methods of assay that he invented. He described a three-step process for the life history of the bacteriophage virus: 1. Attachment to the susceptible bacterium, 2. Multiplication in the cell, 3. Disintegration of the cell to free the progreny virus particles and attachment of the progreny to other susceptible bacteria, if they are present.
English translation as The bacteriophage and its behavior. Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins Co., 1926.
