  • Title: An epidemiological study of Serratia marcescens infections by bacteriocin typing.
    Author: Nasu M, Goto J, Goto I.
    Journal: Microbiol Immunol; 1982; 26(9):795-801. PubMed ID: 6759881.
    Abstract:
    Bacteriocin sensitivity typing according to the method of Traub (Appl. Microbiol. 1971. 21: 837-840) was carried out on 226 clinical isolates of Serratia marcescens obtained from inpatients at Nagasaki University Hospital during the period from January 1976 to December 1978. The isolates were divided into 16 different bacteriocin types, mainly 26, 4, and 9. The distribution of the types suggests that Serratia marcescens infections may be caused by cross infection. Reproducibility of bacteriocin typing and the relationship between serotypes (O-antigen) and bacteriocin types are discussed in regard to the application of this method to the study of nosocomial infections.
