Abstract
597 strains of Salmonella typhimurium found in samples from cattle in Eastern Thuringia from 1974 to 1991 were investigated to their phage t ypes and biochemotypes. 21 different combined types were found out amo ng which the phage types n. c. 1/72/n. c.(204), 2 b/23 (92) and 1 a/9 (49) dominated at certain times. With the help of two examples it is s hown that cases of Salmonellosis with Salmonella typhimurium within on e farm occuring one after another can be different infections that are independent from each other. The complex typings are capable to clear up epidemiological connections and therewith support the control of i nfections and the protection of people's health consequently.
