The test of lysogenicity was used to indicate the pathogenicity, and to complement the phagetyping pattern. None of the coagulase-negative strains (65) carried a phage. The lysogenicity patterns of 76% of the coagulase-positive strains (122 tested) were determined. With the method of phage typing 80 % of the coagulase-positive strains of staphylococci were classified. By using both methods (phage-typing and the test of lysogenicity) the classification of 92 % of coagulase-positive strains was possible. Differentiation of identical phage-typing patterns was obtained by using lysogenicity patterns., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-23-3-577
