Five phage types have been identified in 38 strains of Salmonella enteritidis isolated in Turkey in the 20‐month period June 1992‐January 1994. Strains belonging to phage type 4 predominated. Within phage type 4, plasmid profile typing has proved a useful method of strain discrimination and has confirmed the identity of a putative outbreak involving canteen workers in an industrial complex.
