The spread of Staphylococcus aureus strains of phage-type 95 was traced retrospectively in
Denmark by the review of more than 15 000 S. aureus bacteraemia isolates (1957–1988)
and from data collected by phage-typing of c. 260 000 isolates from all body sites (1977–
1989). The first two type 95 strains had been isolated from blood in 1968, and after an
interval of 3 years there was a steady increase of bacteraemia strains all over Denmark.
From 1977 to 1989 the incidence of type 95 strains among isolates from all body sites …
