An index of discrimination was used to assess the discriminatory power of biotyping for salmonellas of selected serotypes. Three collections of phage-typed strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella paratyphi B, previously tested for biotype, were examined. The results established that the discrimination index was high when full biotyping alone was used for differentiation of strains from international series. When biotyping was combined with phage typing, the discrimination achieved was greater than for either method used alone. These findings confirm that biotyping affords excellent discrimination of strains of S. typhimurium and S. paratyphi B and indicate that the results obtained from biotyping can be interpreted with confidence.
使用鉴别指数来评估生物分型对选定血清型沙门氏菌的鉴别能力。对三组先前已进行生物分型检测的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌和副伤寒沙门氏菌B噬菌体分型菌株进行了检查。结果表明，当仅使用完整生物分型来区分国际菌株系列时，鉴别指数很高。当生物分型与噬菌体分型相结合时，所实现的鉴别效果比单独使用任何一种方法都要好。这些发现证实，生物分型对鼠伤寒沙门氏菌和副伤寒沙门氏菌B菌株具有出色的鉴别能力，并表明从生物分型获得的结果可以放心地进行解释。
