title: Bacteriocin (klebocin) typing of clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
abstract: Three-hundred-forty-two clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were subjected to bacteriocin (klebocin) typing using six standard klebocin-producer strains (153-158). The overall typability was 72.8 per cent. The predominant klebocin types found were 244 (14.3 per cent), 313 (13.7 per cent) and 113 (7.6 per cent). Klebocin types 314 and 111 each contributed 5.2 per cent to the total number of isolates. No significant correlation was observed between the source of isolation and the klebocin type.
