| Abstract: | A total of 348 P. aeroginosa strains isolated from patients with pulmonary and pleural diseases were studied, and 87% of the test showed the possibility of their serotyping with the use of group-specific agglutinating antisera. Serogroups II, III, IV were found to be prevalent among the strains isolated from patients with bronchopulmonary pathological states. Correlations between definite groups of P. aeroginosa in their sensitivity to antibiotics were established; thus, the cultures belonging the serogroups II, III, IV were found to be more sensitive to tetracycline annd chloramphenicol than the culture belonging to other serogroups. |
