Hi George T.,
I know, that the O1-phage is used for diagnosis of all Salmonella spezies.
In Germany, there we have a national reference center for Salmonella
spezies
at Institut fuer oeffentlichen Verbraucherschutz und Veterinaermedizin,
Wernigerode. Phages are available there. If you are interested in, I
would
look for the adress and mail it to you. I also have an articel from 1966
(Annales immunologiae hungaricae 9/1966) in german language about the
prophylaxis of dysentery caused by Shigella spezies with the help of
phages.
There is written, that phages were used to treat illnesses before
antibiotics
were found in Germany and Soviet Union. Grunow and Koehler found a lot of
phages in faeces of healthy men, which attacked Salmonella, Shigella and
Escherichia spezies. In the articel, there you can find some other names
and
years, which are related to the use of phages. I hope this helps.
Mit Gruss and 55
