Major teaching hospitals in each state of Australia participated in five annual surveys (1986 to 1990) of clinically significant isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. All isolates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) were phage typed with the Basic International Set and an Australian experimental set of typing phages. One or two predominant strains were isolated in individual states during each of the survey periods. Less than 3% (33 of 1243) of MRSA isolates were not typable and more than 86% (1070 of 1243) belonged to strains that were isolated on at least five occasions during a single survey period. Strains of phage types 83A/85/95/90/88@47T/90A/87M/13M and 85/90/88@47T/90A/87A were the most prevalent, but each was identified in only four of the five surveys. Isolates of phage type (83A/85/95) weak/88@87M persisted throughout the survey period.
澳大利亚各州的主要教学医院参与了对金黄色葡萄球菌临床重要分离株的五次年度调查(1986年至1990年)。所有耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)分离株均用基本国际分型噬菌体组合和一组澳大利亚实验分型噬菌体进行噬菌体分型。在每个调查期间,个别州分离出一两种主要菌株。不到3%(1243株中的33株)的MRSA分离株无法分型,超过86%(1243株中的1070株)属于在单个调查期间至少分离出五次的菌株。噬菌体分型83A/85/95/90/88@47T/90A/87M/13M和85/90/88@47T/90A/87A的菌株最为常见,但在五次调查中每次仅在四次调查中被鉴定出。噬菌体分型(83A/85/95)弱/88@87M的分离株在整个调查期间持续存在。
