Phage typing of Listeria monocytogenes in Hungary.

Ninety-eight (39.6%) out of 247 Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from a variety of sources were typable by 27 phases. Of the 31 human strains only 3 belonged to phage types occurring in cattle, sheep and surface waters. A close correlation existed between serotype and phage type of the strains. Serotype 1/2 and 4 strains isolated in Hungary were less frequently typable than cultures originating from France. Phage typing is a useful tool for epidemiological tracing but, for a more effective differentiation, the number of phages should be increased and the method should be standardized.

A code for reporting and comparing results in phage typing.

This code, like the others proposed, involves the definition of a characteristic reaction for each system. Each reaction must be positive or negative. As regards the interpretation of results, it is worth noting that if the bacteriophage typing system uses not less than 5 phages, there is no problem for interpreting the results of small series of 10 to 20 strains, whatever the code used. But should the system use more than 5 phages, the advantage offered by the octal code becomes obvious because, without computer, the manual coding for comparing the results of various series is always possible. Beyond 6 phages, the binary pattern reporting, unintelligible without correction, is possible with an octal number not exceeding 7 digits for a pattern corresponding to a 21-phage set. When very large series of strains are considered, the coding can be completely done and printed out by any computer through a very simple program. This proposed code is not only rational but also a useful method even if the number of phages used is larger than 20 or 30, but after a computer becomes necessary however the coding system used.

[Salmonellosis: retrospective study of 136 cases hospitalized at the C.H.U. of Tours].

136 cases of salmonellosis were seen in the Tours Hospital Center from 1965 to 1971. Salmonella typhi produced 32 cases of typhoid fever and 2 focal infections: a bacterial pleural effusion and an osteoarthritis. Salmonella para B induced 16 cases of typhoid fever. All these 50 patients were given chloramphenicol that was effective in vitro and in vivo as well. They usually exhibited very few and mild signs or symptoms but long lasting fever. Complications were very rare. There was no death. Paradoxically, the 86 "minor" salmonellosis (i.e. caused by other Salmonella species than S. typhi, S. paratyphi A, B or C) exhibited a much more overt symptomatology. Though all the "major" salmonellosis occurred in previously healthy patients and caused no death, the "minor" salmonellosis occurred mostly in seriously ill patients and had a lethal outcome for 5 out of 86. There was no typhoid fever epidemic in Touraine during recent years. Lysotyping ruled out the hypothesis of an endemic local reservoir. On the other hand, two hospital outbreaks of "minor" salmonellosis were recognized: one in a psychiatric ward due to S. java in 1967, the other in a pediatric ward due to S. wien in 1971-1972 respectively.
