Preliminary typing of 1820 strains of Staph. aureus from 51 herds with the human set of phages showed that non-typable strains were common (31·4%). Other phages were investigated and 1404 strains from 328 herds were typed with 42 phages; these included the human phage set, phages from Weybridge and phages isolated in Brisbane. The following 20 phages were selected as suitable for typing bovine strains of Staph. aureus in Australia: 29, 80, 13, 71, 6, 7, 42E, 47, 53, 77, 31B, 42D, 81, 101, 102, 107, 110, 600, 367, 425. Phages 13, 367, 425, 600 were from Brisbane and 101, 102, 107 and 110 were from Weybridge.
