A survey was made of the phage-types of staphylococci responsible for cross-infection in a large veterans' hospital between 1961 and 1964. An earlier survey had shown that in 1959 most of the infections were caused by staphylocci of the "80/81/82" group. In 1961 a new group of staphylococci were first recognized and provisionally designated as "Atypical Group III" strains; these were non-typable by the usual typing phages but showed inhibition patterns with some of the Group III phages. The "Atypical Group III" staphylococci all showed one or other of four patterns of multiple antibiotic resistance. By 1963 these resistant "Atypical Group III" staphylococci had become more frequent than "80/81/82" strains as causative agents of cross-infection, although both groups have continued to cause infections in the hospital. "Atypical Group III" strains mainly infected surgical wounds and skin ulcers, whereas "80/81/82" strains commonly produced primary skin sepsis, such as boils.
对1961年至1964年间在一家大型退伍军人医院引起交叉感染的葡萄球菌噬菌体类型进行了调查。早期的一项调查显示，1959年大多数感染是由“80/81/82”组的葡萄球菌引起的。1961年首次识别出一组新的葡萄球菌，并暂时指定为“非典型III组”菌株；这些菌株不能用常规分型噬菌体进行分型，但对一些III组噬菌体表现出抑制模式。“非典型III组”葡萄球菌均表现出四种多重耐药模式中的一种或另一种。到1963年，这些耐药的“非典型III组”葡萄球菌作为交叉感染的病原体比“80/81/82”菌株更为常见，尽管这两组菌株仍在医院中引起感染。“非典型III组”菌株主要感染手术伤口和皮肤溃疡，而“80/81/82”菌株通常引起原发性皮肤脓毒症，如疖子。
