[Phage typing of the "Staphylococcus epidermidia" (author's transl)].

Serious infections due to hospital-transmitted Staphylococcus epidermidis strains have become more and more important and frequent. Therefore, a need for typing methods which characterize St. epidermidis strains for epidermiological purpose is increasing. Only a few data are available for the phage typing of those strains and the aim of our paper has been to set them up.
