Lectin typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains of different serogroups, Habs and Fisher types.
Sixteen Habs and three Fisher types of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were typed with lectins of know specificity resulting from their interaction with bacterial cell surface carbohydrates as evidenced by agglutination-inhibition assay with simple carbohydrates. Lipopolysaccharides of few strains of Pseudomonas are precipitated with different lectins and the results are corroborated by those of agglutination suggesting that Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be characterized intraspecifically by lectins.
