The author assessed phagotypes of Salmonella typhimurium strains isolated in 1992 and 1993 from patients with salmonellosis (n = 1,099) from foods (mainly home pig-slaughtering) (n = 10), surface water (n = 1) and one case of a nosocomial infection. In the reference laboratory for phagotyping of Salmonellae a total of 1,111 strains were examined -376 in 1992 and 735 in 1993. During this period phagotypes 2b dominated (27.81%), 1 (26.28%) and 1 variant (25.02%), whereby in 1993 among the examined strains phagotypes 1 and 1 variant predominated (37% and 36.8% resp.). All strains isolated from foodstuffs in 1993 belonged to these two phagotypes. Types of 12.8% of the total number of examined strains could not be identified.
