title: [Prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa O serogroups].
abstract: The serological typing of 708 P. aeruginosa strains made it possible to determine serogroups in 97.9% of cultures. Serogroups O2 and O6 were the most prevalent (33.8% and 2.5% respectively); serotypes O1, O3 and O11 also occurred rather frequently (about 10%); O4, O7 and O9 were rare (3-8%), serotypes O10 and O12, very rare (less than 1%). The prevalence of P. aeruginosa strains O2 and O6 among the clinical strains was shown over a period of 10 years, serogroup O2 always playing the leading role. In serogroups, the predominance of strains with a definite combination of partial antigen was established; strains with the antigenic structure not described in the International Scheme of the Structure of O-Antigens were detected.
