Bacteriophage Typing of Clinically Isolated Serratia marcescens [PDF]
A bacteriophage-typing scheme for the differentiation and classification of clinically isolated strains of Serratia marcescens was developed. Thirty-four Serratia bacteriophages were isolated from sewage and used to type 185 of 204 isolates (90.6%) of S.

Bacteriophage-typing designations of Salmonella typhimurium [PDF]
SUMMARYThe phage-typing scheme of Callow (1959) has been extended. The original number of types was 34; this has now risen to 207. Tables are presented which show the provisional type designations and the definitive designations now being introduced.

Reproducibility of Staphylococcal Bacteriophage Types by Use of Different Concentrations of Bacteriophage [PDF]
A comparative investigation was carried out on the reproducibility of staphylococcal bacteriophage types at 100 routine test dilution (RTD) and at the conventional concentrations, RTD and 1,000 RTD. The comparison includes multiple typing of laboratory strains and duplicate isolates from hospital patients.

Evidence for a lineage of virulent bacteriophages that target Campylobacter. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Our understanding of the dynamics of genome stability versus gene flux within bacteriophage lineages is limited. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in the use of bacteriophages as 'therapeutic' agents; a prerequisite for their use in

Bacteriophage Typing of Salmonella . I. Isolation and Host Range Study of Bacteriophages [PDF]
A series of bacteriophages, lytic for bacteria belonging to the genera Escherichia and Salmonella, were isolated. The phages were isolated from fecal samples, intestinal contents of turkey poults, and carrier cultures of S. typhimurium, S.

Bacteriophage typing scheme for Salmonella infantis [PDF]
A bacteriophage typing system is described for Salmonella infantis. Nine phages were selected, of which three were isolated from sewage and six from human feces. All except 7 of the 546 strains collected between 1974 and 1978 could be classified into 23 different phage types.

Stabilities of lyophilized Staphylococcus aureus typing bacteriophages [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophages (25 phages) were lyophilized in aliquots 12 to 18 years ago and stored in vacuo at -20 degrees C. Eight viruses each lost one log titer, while seventeen retained the original titers. The use of lyophilized phages provided more reproducible phage typing and reduced by 75% the complexity and cost.

Bacteriophage Typing of Bacteriuric Escherichia coli.
SummaryA bacteriophage typing method of identifying strains of E. coli found in urinary tract infections has been developed. Eight phages were isolated from sewage and used to classify E. coli into 14 phage types. Certain types were found to cause a majority of the infections.

Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing from Chicken Clinical Tracheal Samples for Bacterial and Novel Bacteriophage Identification. [PDF]
A whole-genome shotgun sequencing (sWGS) approach was applied to chicken clinical tracheal swab samples during metagenomics investigations to identify possible microorganisms among poultry with respiratory diseases.
