Typing of Nontypable Staphylococci by Lysogeny

Department of Bacteriology, Kyungpook University School of Medicine, Taegu, Republic of Korea

ABSTRACT

Strains of coagulase-positive staphylococci which were nontypable with the routine typing set of phages could be typed by lysogeny with phage-propagating strains as indicators and with ultraviolet induction. About 10% of the strains could be typed without induction. About 36% of them could be typed by this method when ultraviolet irradiation was used as an inducing agent. The phage groups from which the majority of the nontypable staphylococci originated were easily identified by this method of typing.
