[Studies on Pseudomonas aeruginosa typing in Turkey]

Several investigators has been found the serotypes of Ps. aeruginosa in Turkey by comparing with Habs, Sandvik, Veron, Meitert and Homma's serotypes. Habs's 0 : 3, 0 : 7, 0 : 11, Veron's 0 : 2b, Meitert's 0 : 15 0 : 13, 0 : 4, 0 : 5, Homma's 0 : 15, 0 : 2, 0 : 7, 0 : 13, 0 : 16 Serotypes found to be majority of the serotypes of the Ps aeruginosa in these researches. Meitert's phage set has been used in the bacteriophage typing of Ps. aeruginosa. Ia phage type found to be predominant phage type in Turkey. In addition to that pyocin types of Ps. aeruginosa was fund by using active pyocin typing method, pyocin types 3, 5, 27 were in majority in these investigations.
