    Author: Kapoor N, Saxena M, Chhibber S.
    Journal: Indian J Med Res; 1989 Nov; 89():384-8. PubMed ID: 2695458.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of bacteriocinogeny among 117 clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae was examined using two systems of indicators-K. pneumoniae WC indicator and the Abbott-Shannon set of indicators. None of the isolate tested produced bacteriocin active on K. pneumoniae WC while 23 per cent positivity was observed with the Abbott-Shannon indicators. Most of the bacteriocin producers were urinary isolates (53.8%) followed by 15.3 and 30.7 per cent respectively of faecal and miscellaneous isolates. Our results indicate the advantages of using a set of indicators over a single indicator strain.
