| Popis: | A staphylococcal strain which exhibited weak lytic reaction with group II phages was isolated from a newborn infant with a skin infection. Subsequent investigations established that this weakly reacting strain was responsible for an endemic level of infection and colonization within the hospital nursery. The use of consistently appearing weak lytic reactions in the evaluation of this episode is described. |
