A set of phages previously isolated from poultry strains of Staphylococcus aureus was used to type such isolates from poultry before, during and after processing in a poultry plant. Certain poultry phage types were found to be associated with the live birds rather than the processed carcases. Strains lysed by phages from this group may represent a specific ‘poultry’biotype. A site of cross‐contamination within the plant was discovered.
