A study of the epidemiology of Salmonella bareilly in India using a new phage-typing system.
A total of 637 strains of Salmonella bareilly received from different parts of India between 1959 and 1985 were phage typed using five locally isolated wild phages. The overall typability was 94.5% and 11 different phage types could be defined. Phage types 10 and 1 were the most prevalent and the geographical and source distribution is described.
