Of 12,930 Salmonella serotype typhimurium strains, phage typed during 1985-1988, 45.68% were "nontypable" by Anderson's set; the percent of typable strains decreased from 54.17 in 1986 to 30.54 in 1988. Of 90 phage patterns of sensitivity, 22 were currently encountered. Phage types 1, 18 and 104 were most frequent to strain of both human and non-human origin. In food generating S. typhimurium outbreaks, phage types 1 and 36 were prevalent. Except lysotypes 198 and 95, isolated from "single cases" in man only, all other phage types were common in man and animals, too. Introducing other typing methods to serotype typhimurium "nontypable" strains (by Anderson's set) was considered necessary for epidemiological purposes.
