Popis: Five indicator strains of Yersinia enterocolitica 01, 03, 05, 012 serovars were selected, which were used to isolate 7 bacteriophages from 227 Y. enterocolitica strains and 2 bacteriophages from wastewater samples. The specificity of the antigenic composition (3 serovars) and the morphology of phage particles (3 morphological groups) were employed to identify bacteriophages; there were differences in the range of lytic activity and resistance to physical and chemical agents. The specific bacteriophage-susceptibility test showed it possible to differentiate Y. enterocolitica strains.
