  • Title: Phage typing of coagulase-negative staphylococci and micrococci.
    Author: Dean BA, Williams RE, Hall F, Corse J.
    Journal: J Hyg (Lond); 1973 Jun; 71(2):261-70. PubMed ID: 4268951.
    Abstract:
    A total of 3217 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci and micrococci were tested for susceptibility to a collection of phages isolated from coagulase-negative cocci; it was concluded that a useful typing scheme could be developed. Of the strains of Baird-Parker's biotype 1, 72% were lysed by one or more phages, although rather a large proportion of strains are lysed by many phages to give a complex typing pattern.Normal persons commonly yield 10 or more distinguishable strains of coagulase-negative cocci in cultures from the nose and the skin.
