The evolution of new hospital strains of Staphylococcus aureus

M Patricia Jevons 1, M T Parker 1
PMCID: PMC480732  PMID: 14159451

Abstract

The emergence of new groups of strains of Staph. aureus as important causes of endemic hospital infection in Great Britain has been followed by the phage typing method. Experiments are reported which suggest the possible origin of one of them.
