[Serotype distribution of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Comparative studies of nosocomial and community strains].
A total of 202 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected from December 1980 to September 1982 at National Taiwan University Hospital. Of the 202 strains, 102 were nosocomial strains and the other 100 were community strains. The distribution of O antigen group were as follow: E, 34.2%; B, 17.3%; G, 10.9%; F, 9.9%, I, 7.9%; L, 7.4%; others, 12.4%. The antisera used were produced by Toshiba Kagaku Kogyo Co., Japan. The relationship between antibiotic susceptibility pattern and O antigen group were that group-I was the most susceptible group and group-L was the most resistant group. With the O antigen grouping and antibiotic susceptibility pattern, we tried to differentiate the nosocomial strains from the community strains. No obvious difference could be drawn.
