Cultures of Staphylococcus epidermidis from the eyes or nose of the same individual were compared by their antimicrobial phenotype, Staph-Ident (Analytab Products, Inc., Plainview, N.Y.) profile number, phage type, and plasmid profile to determine which parameters provide the most compelling data for their identity. None of the parameters alone provided this type of information. The most conclusive data for the identity of strains resulted when two cultures had the same long phage type and identical or similar plasmid profiles. The presence of a large, slowly migrating plasmid band(s) in a culture that agreed with its pair in all other parameters and, in all likelihood, was the same strain casts doubt in some instances on the reliability of the plasmid profile alone for strain identification in an epidemiologic study.
对来自同一个体眼睛或鼻子的表皮葡萄球菌培养物，通过其抗菌表型、葡萄球菌鉴定系统（Analytab Products公司，纽约州普莱恩维尤）的谱号、噬菌体类型和质粒图谱进行比较，以确定哪些参数能为其同一性提供最有说服力的数据。单独任何一个参数都无法提供此类信息。当两种培养物具有相同的长噬菌体类型以及相同或相似的质粒图谱时，得出的菌株同一性数据最具决定性。在一种培养物中存在一条大的、迁移缓慢的质粒带，且在所有其他参数上与其配对培养物一致，并且很可能是同一菌株，但在某些情况下，这会让人怀疑在流行病学研究中仅靠质粒图谱进行菌株鉴定的可靠性。
