RESUMO
Combined analysis of 5,179 serial phage reactions of 20 Listeria monocytogenes propagating strains over 14 years and phage typing results from 2,659 further L. monocytogenes strains allowed us to estimate lytic spectrum specificity and the variability of the lytic reactions of 35 phages. These included the 26 phages recommended for the international method for phage typing defined in 1985 by Rocourt et al. (J. Rocourt, A. Audurier, A. L. Courtieu, J. Durst, S. Ortel, A. Schrettenbrunner, and A. G. Taylor, Zentralbl. Bakteriol. Abt. 1 Orig. A 259:489-497, 1985). The results are discussed individually for each phage. Proposals for modifying the present system are made with the aim of producing an optimal bacteriophage set for routine use.
