    Journal: Med Dosw Mikrobiol; 2005; 57(2):105-13. PubMed ID: 16134383.
    Abstract:
    The aim of study was to determine how population of Staphylococcus aureus strains from hospital environment forms itself with respect to phage types and frequency of their occurrence recently. 1157 S. aureus isolated from various clinical materials between 1999 and 2004 have been investigated. The basic set of phages and the three additional ones were used for typing strains according to Blair and Williams method. The results proved that population of S. aureus strains isolated from hospital environment differentiates with respect to phage types, like in the past. Strains belonging to phage group II dominates among them, but a considerable increase in number of phage group III have been remarked lately. A differential value of an individual phages from basic set remains on their usual level for years.
