    This study introduces an octal coding system for bacteriophage typing, simplifying data analysis. This method is efficient for large bacterial strain sets, especially with over 5 phages, aiding interpretation and computerization.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bioinformatics

    Background:

    • Bacteriophage typing is crucial for bacterial strain identification.
    • Interpreting large datasets from phage typing can be complex.
    • Existing coding systems may lack efficiency for extensive phage sets.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a rational and efficient octal coding system for bacteriophage typing.
    • To demonstrate the advantages of this code for analyzing large bacterial strain series.
    • To facilitate computer-based analysis of phage typing data.

    Main Methods:

    • Defining a characteristic positive or negative reaction for each phage system.
    • Developing an octal code to represent phage typing results.
    • Comparing manual coding with computer-based processing for large datasets.

    Main Results:

    • The octal code simplifies interpretation, especially with more than 5 phages.
    • Binary patterns become manageable with octal representation (e.g., 7 digits for 21 phages).
    • Computerization of the octal code is feasible for very large strain series.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed octal code is a rational and useful method for bacteriophage typing.
    • It offers significant advantages for data analysis, particularly with extensive phage sets.
    • The system supports efficient manual and automated (computerized) analysis of microbial strain data.
