title: Bacteriophage typing in Salmonella bareilly.
abstract: A total of 675 strains of Salmonella bareilly received from different parts of India and France during 1959-92 were phage typed using six bacteriophages. Overall typability achieved was 90.8% with 23 distinct phage types excluding a group of untypable strains. Phage types have been defined in octal code. Simpson's coefficient was applied for diversity index having a value of 0.839. This system was found to be reproducible, stable and epidemiologically useful.
