Abstract

A new phage set for typing Staphylococcus intermedius is proposed. By using 14 phages, 581 strains isolated from dogs, pigeons, horses, foxes and mink were subjected to typing at routine test dilution (RTD) and 100 X RTD. The typability of each ecovar ranged from 78.9% to 100%. Most of the strains were typable at RTD. Phage patterns obtained could be divided into 4 types (Canine I, Canine II, Pigeon, and Equine). The phage set was considered useful for typing S. intermedius.
