62 strains of Brucella genus, freshly isolated from man and animals in several geographical areas in Italy, were tested for sensitivity to the phages: Tb, Wb, Fi, BK2 and R. The strains from human source, all classified like Br. melitensis biotype II, had three sensitivity patterns to phages. Some of the strains from cattle are Br. abortus biotype I, with the standard sensitivity pattern to the phages, but among cattle strains too, the largest part may be classified as Br. melitensis biotype II, and shows the same phage sensitivity pattern of the human strains. The strains from sheep are Br. melitensis biotype II, with only two phage sensitivity pattern; but it is to emphasize that some strains from goats are Br. abortus for sensitivity to phage Tb. It is also note the strains from buffaloes, which are Br. abortus biotype I with a very high degree of sensitivity to all the testes phages, included the R phage, which is supposed active on rough strains while these are smooth.
对从意大利几个地理区域的人和动物中新鲜分离出的62株布鲁氏菌属菌株进行了对噬菌体Tb、Wb、Fi、BK2和R的敏感性测试。来自人类的菌株均被归类为马尔他布鲁氏菌生物2型，对噬菌体有三种敏感性模式。一些来自牛的菌株是流产布鲁氏菌生物1型，对噬菌体有标准的敏感性模式，但在牛的菌株中，大部分也可归类为马尔他布鲁氏菌生物2型，并且显示出与人类菌株相同的噬菌体敏感性模式。来自绵羊的菌株是马尔他布鲁氏菌生物2型，只有两种噬菌体敏感性模式；但需要强调的是，一些来自山羊的菌株对噬菌体Tb敏感，属于流产布鲁氏菌。还需注意来自水牛的菌株，它们是流产布鲁氏菌生物1型，对所有测试噬菌体，包括R噬菌体，具有非常高的敏感性，而R噬菌体被认为对粗糙菌株有活性，而这些菌株是光滑的。
