title: [Pyocin typing of 111 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in Tuscany, using the Gillies and Govan method].
abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from Tuscany have been typed for pyocine production against Govan and Gillies' extended set of indicator strains; results have been expressed following a binary code. Among 111 strains only 6 could not be typed; the remaining 105 strains (94.6%) presented 59 different patterns, 44 of which were represented by one isolate only. The most commonly encountered pattern (n. 8045, corresponding to Govan and Gillies' subtype 1e) was shared by 13 strains. Isolates from outpatients or from the environment tended to a uniform distribution of pyocine patterns; those from two different hospitals tended to group into distinct subtypes.
