[Virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa].
A study was made of the virulence of 137 strains of P. aeruginosa on a model of intraperitoneal infection of albino mice. The graded index of the 1/T effect (the value reverse to the time of mouse death, in days) was in direct relationship to the log of the culture dose. The optimal infective dose in tesing the strain virulence was a dose equal to 10-8-5 microbial cells. The virulence index V was a satisfactory index characterizing the strain virulence in the selected model of infection. V values of the strains studied were subject to the law of normal distribution. P. aeruginosa virulence failed to depend on the periods of strain storage (museum and freshly isolated) their origin (from man or animals) and the source of isolation (different localization of diseases in man).
