“…aureus from animals are refractile to phages of the international human set and hence phages specific to poultry strains have been sought (Smith et al 1961;Shimizu 1977;Gibbs et al 1978b). Such phages were used to type strains isolated in several European countries from both healthy and diseased birds (Shimizu 1979;Thompson et al 1980b), and were found to be relatively specific for poultry strains (Hajek & Horak 1978). However, Thompson et al (1980b) found that whereas 80% of poultry strains from France, Belgium, England, West Germany, Japan and Argentina could be typed with a phage set developed in Northern Ireland, most of those received from Bulgaria could not.…”

“…aureus isolated from a Dutch chicken processing plant, Notermans et al (1982) found that 95.6% of 905 strains were typable with either the international human phage set or with an avian set comprising 20 different phages. By contrast, strains isolated by Adams & Mead (1983) from three turkey processing plants were often untypable by either the human set or the avian phages used by Thompson et al (1980b), but up to 98% of those isolated from different sampling days could be typed with the Dutch set (van Leeuwen, personal communication). A separate set of phages for typing staphylococci from turkeys with synovitis was described by Smith et al (1961).…”
