bacillus cereus phage typing as an epidemiological tool in outbreaks of food poisoning.	bacillus cereus is responsible for an increasing number of food poisoning cases. by using 12 bacteriophages isolated from sewage, a typing scheme for b. cereus isolates from outbreaks or sporadic cases of food poisoning was developed. the phages belonged to three morphotypes. ten phages with contractile tails and icosahedral heads were members of the myoviridae family, and two phages with noncontractile tails belonged to the siphoviridae family. phage 11 represented a new species. it had an isom ...	1995	7751369
