To evaluate the possibility of separate pulmonary infections in human beings by different strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a search for multiple phage types within a single host was under-taken. Culture isolates from 2 or more distinct anatomic sites of infection in the same patient were obtained from 87 persons. In 3 subjects, 2 distinct phage types were found. The possible explanations for 2 types in the same patient and the epidemiologic implications are discussed.
为评估人类因不同结核分枝杆菌菌株而发生肺部单独感染的可能性，开展了一项在单个宿主内寻找多种噬菌体类型的研究。从87名患者身上获取了来自同一患者2个或更多不同感染解剖部位的培养分离物。在3名受试者中发现了2种不同的噬菌体类型。讨论了同一患者出现2种类型的可能解释及其流行病学意义。
