Summary and conclusions
Phages were isolated which were adsorbed bySalmonella strains of groups B and D. These phages were adaptable to strains of species from these groups. The behaviour of some adaptations of these phages on strains ofS. paratyphi B has been described.
A typing scheme forS. typhimurium has been established. So far, this consists of 32 types which have all been demonstrated with adaptations of a single phage.
