Abstract
SURFACE antigens usually limited to one taxonomic group are the main factors determining the bacteriophage sensitivity of bacterial species1. By such sensitivity, species of Salmonella can be distinguished2 and the degree of sensitivity is used for typing strains of S. typhi 3,4,5 and strains of other bacteria6.
