title: Use of phage for the identification of Brucella canis and Brucella ovis cultures.
abstract: The brucella phage strains R, R/O and R/C standardised at routine test dilution on their propagating strains were effective in identifying cultures of Brucella ovis and B canis and in differentiating these from other non-smooth brucella isolates.
