A phage-typing system of Salmonella bareilly based on lysogeny is presented. In the present study which comprised 378 strains, fifteen different phage types named 'a' through 'o' were established. With this system 70.3% of the strains could be typed by using five indicator strains.

A total of 8579 Salmonella strains received during 1973-1982 were tested for their antibiogram patterns against nine routinely used antibiotics including gentamicin. Of these, 380 strains (4.4%) showed resistance to gentamicin at levels of 10 micrograms/ml and above. A high degree of resistance to gentamicin was recorded in 1979 (18.7%) and 1980 (9.4%). M.I.C. levels of strains received during 1982 were determined and it was found that some strains had levels as high as 160 micrograms/ml. The comparative results of gentamicin resistance from 1973 to 1982 are presented and the public health significance of the alarming increase in two years (1979-1980) is discussed.

In this paper seventeen Salmonella serovars are described which were identified in the period 1979 to 1981 at the Salmonella Reference Centre of Hamburg. In addition to the Supplements Nos. XXIII (1979) to XXVI (1982) further serological, biochemical and epidemiological data of each serovar are given.
