  • Title: The use of a new phage set for typing poultry strains of Staphylococcus aureus obtained from seven countries.
    Author: Thompson JK, Patterson JT, Gibbs PA.
    Journal: Br Poult Sci; 1980 Mar; 21(2):95-102. PubMed ID: 6445222.
    Abstract:
    1. Eighty per cent of poultry strains of Staphylococcus aureus tested from French, Belgian, English, West German, Japanese and Argentinian sources were typable using a set of typing phages isolated in this laboratory. Strains from Bulgaria, however, with few exceptions were not typable with this phage set. 2. Strains isolated from lesions generally resembled those from apparently healthy poultry. 3. The existence of two distinct Staph. aureus biotypes on poultry was confirmed by isolates from six of the countries; one of these biotypes closely resembled Staph. aureus variety gallinae as described by Witte et al. (1977).
