Abstract
Background: In the current investigation, 167 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from a Northwest Ohio hospital were tested for phenotypic diversity using serotyping and antibiotic susceptibility testing. The genetic diversity of the selected strains was determined by DNA fingerprinting. Methods: The isolates were serotyped by slide agglutination. The susceptibility was measured by disk diffusion. To analyze genetic variability, 96 strains (serotypes O:1, O:2, O:6, and O:11) were studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based single primer DNA fingerprinting.
