title: Sensitivity of canine Staphylococcus intermedius strains to the phages typing Staphylococcus aureus isolated from man.
abstract: 98 staphylococci strains isolated from skin lesions of dogs were tested for their morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics. These examinations have proved that the majority of the strains was Staphylococcus intermedius (n = 97), and only one was Staphylococcus aureus. The strains were also tested for their sensitivity to bacteriophages. Most of Staphylococcus intermedius strains (n = 75) could be typed with the set of human phages, typing staphylococci isolated from man. Two phages, 676 and Phi 131 have turned out to be highly active towards a large number of the isolates.
