Summary The action of 20 selected phages on 1187 strains of Staphylococcus aureus from dairy cattle was studied. The phage patterns of 933 strains were analysed; 45 simple patterns accounted for 69·3% of strains and 6·9% were non‐typable. The phages were separated into lytic groups and the staphylococci classified into the following phage groups: group I 11·4%, group II 0·8%, group III 2·2%, group III/IV 20·9%, group IV 51·4%, miscellaneous 5·8%, others 7·5%.
