Abstract |
Strains of Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. hyicus were compared and differentiated by staphylococcin sensitivity. Strains were tested by the cross-streaking method on brain heart infusion agar. From 31 staphylococcin producers, a typing set of 9 producers was selected and used to type all of the strains. All 81 strains of Staph hyicus subsp. hyicus tested were typable and were differentiated into 12 different sensitivity patterns. Strains of the same serotype from different sources could be further subdivided by their staphylococcin sensitivity patterns. Other staphylococcus species could also be typed by use of the 9 standard strains of Staph hyicus subsp. hyicus. |
