“…Phage typing has been employed to study the ecology of E. coli in cows and calves (Smith & Crabb, 1956) and also E. coli isolates from diseased chickens (Bhatia, 1977) and cows with coliform mastitis (Gershman, Merrill & Hunter, 1981;Gershman, Markowsky & Hunter, 1984).…”

It is possible to differentiate isolates of Escherichia coli using a number of techniques including the determination of the serotype, biotype and phage type and the profiles for resistance to antibacterial agents and toxic chemicals, intracellular enzymes, outer membrane proteins and plasmids and the production of enterotoxin and colicines. These methods have been used principally for the study of pathogenic E. coli and plasmid-mediated drug resistance. However they can also be used successfully for ecological purposes and the application of several of these techniques for the study of the ecology of E. coli in healthy young animals including man is described.

“…To date, phage sets have been reported for a number of microorganisms, including Staphylococcus aureus of both human (Fisk 1942a(Fisk , 1942bFelix and Callow 1956;Blair and Williams 1961) and animal origin (Davidson 1961;Blouse and Meekins 1968;Carrol and Francis 1985;Shimizu 1977), S. epidermidis (Talbot and Parisi 1977;Verhoef et al 1972), Escherichia coli (Gershman et al 1984), Salmonella typhimurium (Callow 1959;Wilson et al 1971), and a single set for characterizing salmonellae in general (Gershman and Markowsky 1983).…”
