| Research Abstract |
49 S. aureus isolates were obtained from the milk of mastitic cows for use in the screening of staphylococcal phages. The host ranges of phages isolated were determined, and two phages were subsequently chosen for analysis.ΦSA039 had the widest host range, producing clear plaques on 13 of the 15 isolates, while□ΦSA012 produced clear plaques on 8 isolates. This study constitutes a solid basis on which to continue the exploration of the potential ofΦSA012 andΦSA039 in the treatment of staphylococcal diseases.
