Bacteriophage typing is a method used to identify and classify bacterial strains based on their susceptibility to specific bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria). By exposing a bacterial isolate to a panel of bacteriophages, researchers can observe which phages successfully infect and lyse the bacteria, allowing for differentiation between various strains. This technique is particularly useful in epidemiology for tracking outbreaks and understanding the genetic diversity of bacterial populations. It is often employed in the study of pathogenic bacteria, such as those responsible for foodborne illnesses or hospital-acquired infections.
