Phage Typing Set for Differentiating staphylococcus epidermidis
Canadian Journal of Microbiology
Abstract
A phage typing set composed of 13 phages is described for characterizing Staphylococcus epidermidis. Isolates (372) from cases of bovine mastitis were used in this study. Of these, 350 or 94% were successfully delineated, and 63 phage types were observed. Twenty two cultures were not typeable.
