The evaluation of a phage-typing system for Listeria monocytogenes for use in epidemiological studies

Abstract
A typing system for strains of Listeria monocytogenes based on the lytic properties of 28 phages has been evaluated with a set of strains isolated in the UK and tested in a blind trial. The system was highly reproducible and discriminatory, and 64% of all the strains tested could be typed.
