Abstract
Studies of pairs of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis isolates f rom different poultry flocks showed that phage type (PT) 7 may be deri ved from PT 1, 4, and 6. The conversion appeared to be associated with loss of lipopolysaccharide. It is concluded that PT 7 may be of littl e value as an epidemiological marker of S. enterica serovar Enteritidi s.
