The basic phage set for typing bovine staphylococci

P J Carroll et al. J Hyg (Lond). 1985 Dec.

Abstract

Two hundred and sixty-nine Staphylococcus aureus cultures isolated from bovine milk were subjected to phage typing using the International basic set of 16 phages at Routine Test Dilution. In the current study 73.6% of cultures were 'typable' compared with 84-89% in 1972 when the set was first recommended. The set remains capable of typing the majority of bovine staphylococci but shows a reduction in lysogenicity of most of its phages.
