Three different systems were used to test 236 isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an attempt to ascertain if more than one strain is responsible for the current problem of cross-infection by this organism in N.S.W. hospitals. The biochemical tests used were of little assistance. Phage typing, using the Basic International Set of typing phages at 100 x routine test dilution (RTD), provided evidence of the presence of several different strains. Phage type 83A/85/95/90/88 was the typing pattern of the predominant strain and the nest most frequent group was not typable. These results were often difficult to read. Five new phages were therefore isolated and found to be valuable as they produced easily identifiable patterns at RTD.
使用了三种不同的系统来检测236株耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌，以确定在新南威尔士州医院中，当前这种微生物交叉感染问题是否由不止一种菌株引起。所使用的生化检测几乎没有帮助。噬菌体分型采用国际基本分型噬菌体组，在100倍常规试验稀释度（RTD）下进行，结果表明存在几种不同的菌株。噬菌体83A/85/95/90/88型是主要菌株的分型模式，其次最常见的一组无法分型。这些结果往往难以解读。因此分离出五种新的噬菌体，发现它们很有价值，因为在RTD下它们能产生易于识别的模式。
