Abstract

On epidemiologically heterogeneous pseudomonas strains, have been compared the use of bacteriophage typing by two procedures, serogrouping and pyocine typing. The new phage typing procedure of the author was demonstrated to be preferable to a previous phage typing procedure which is extensively used. A combination of serogrouping and pyocine typing renders a good alternative typing procedure to phage typing for the bacteriological laboratories with a relatively modest load of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Phage typing is preferable to other typing procedures in terms of rendering a high degree of differentiation and demonstrating strain relatednes in serial cultures from the same sites.
