[Serotyping and pyocin typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a study of intrahospital infections].
Typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains is the necessary precondition for the study and control of intrahospital infection caused by this microorganism. Since O-serotype is considered to be the basic epidemiological marker we have studied presence and distribution of some O-serotypes of 235 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from 131 patients. The following O-serotypes have been most frequently found: O11 (21%), O6 (18%) and O12 (16%). The combination of sero and pyocin typing proved the presence of epidemic strains at departments of burns and orthopedics.
