306 Citations1952R. E. O. Williams, Joan E. Rippon
Investigations of variations in the routine typing technique showed that considerable latitude is permissible in the age of cultures used for typing and in the inoculation procedures, and it is important to test all phage filtrates after propagation for purity and freedom from the inhibitory agent.

In an investigation of impetigo among troops, carried out in 1941, nearly half of the strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the lesions had the ability to inhibit the growth of corynebacteria on solid media.

71 Citations1959P. M. Rountree
Staphylococcal strains which showed a range of reactions with the phages 47C, 52, 52A, 80 and 81 were examined for changes in phage sensitivity following artificial lysogenization to produce immunity and sensitivity to phages 52 and 52A produced by a number of A phages.

Staphylococcus aureus isolated from various sources in a hospital, from March, 1953, to March, 1954, were phage-typed and tested for sensitivity to seven antibiotics, showing a high proportion of strains in the hospital were resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics.
Journal of HygieneA study of the serological type differentiation of<i>Staphylococcus pyogenes</i>
59 Citations1948Betty C. Hobbs
The application of both serological and bacteriophage typing to the investigation of outbreaks of staphylococcal infection has proved to be of value in tracing sources and paths of spread of infection.
Journal of General MicrobiologyChanges in Typing Pattern of Phage-Type 80 Staphylococci
58 Citations1959E. H. ASHESHOV, Joan E. Rippon
Loss in sensitivity to phage 81 after lysogenization with phage 581′ does not appear to be a case of specific prophage immunity since the two phages are serologically distinct and the phenomenon resembles examples of prophages interference observed in other organisms.

Phage typing has been used successfully for an epidemiological study of mastitis in a dairy herd extending over 6 years and a provisional set of phages for typing bovine staphylococci is recommended.

Six hundred and nine impetigo lesions were examined bacteriologically and the presence in them of certain types of Staph.

A useful system of typing cultures of Eberthella typhi by means of phage was devised, noting the specificity of V form typhoid phages for cultures possessing Vi antigen and that one such phage adapted itself readily to certain culture strains.

By the use of the new technique devised by Craigie and Yen it is now possible to divide typhoid bacilli into a number of well-defined types.

32 Citations1948H. Williams Smith
Strains previously considered as belonging to one phage type, type 42D, or as untypeable, were classified into a number of types by the use of additional phages, rendered possible by the acquired phage resistance of some of the strains.

28 Citations1961P. M. Rountree, E. H. ASHESHOV
The gains in phage sensitivity that follow lysogenization of type 80/81 strains with the so-called ‘converting’ phages can be most satisfactorily explained on the basis of prophage substitution.
