title: [Phage sensitivity of Streptococcus group A strains isolated in glomerulonephritis].
abstract: The study of phage-sensitive strains of group A streptococci of different serological types, isolated from glomerulonephritis patients in Czechoslovakia, has confirmed the data previously obtained in Moscow. As revealed in this study, all strains of type 12, containing M-antigen, are sensitive to group 1 phage from the phage collection used in the investigation. Some of the strains of type 12, containing M-antigen and isolated from healthy carriers, have also proved to be sensitive to group 1 phages. Thus, streptococcal strains of type 12, containing M-substance and found to be the main causative agents of glomerulonephritis, have shown similar phage sensitivity when isolated in different geographical zones. For this reason, group 1 phages can be used for the detection of some "nephritogenic" strains among the population.
