Abstract
SummaryOne hundred and thirty‐six fast‐growing acid‐fast strains were tested with 14 phages.Some species showed definite patterns, but others were phage resistant or showed a large variety of lysis patterns. Two phages, isolated from soil and chicken manure respectively, were specific for M. fortuitum, lysing 12 per cent of 73 strains. A simplified phage typing scheme is proposed.A certain amount of variability in phage susceptibility over a period of time was found.Inhibition of growth without phage multiplication was observed in the case of some strains and some phages.
