Title: The estimation of usefulness of Pseudomonas bacteriophages in epidemiological investigations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical strains. Author: Dabrowski M, Weber-Dabrowska B, Doroszkiewicz W. Journal: Acta Microbiol Pol; 1988; 37(3-4):295-307. PubMed ID: 2470240. Abstract: Out of 20 Pseudomonas phages, 17 were most suitable for typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from different sources of human infections. These phages have been classified into three taxons based on coefficient of correlation of their lytic activity. Out of these strains only one appeared nontypeable. 240 distinquished phagotypes were classified into three groups and seven subgroups. This schema of classification was used in the epidemiological investigations of the Pseudomonas strains in relation to the category of infection and the place of isolation. Some statisticaly significant differences were detected. Various possibilities of applications of typing set of Pseudomonas phages are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
