[Serological classification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa]

In this work the comparative data on the antigenic schemes of P. aeruginosa proposed by different authors are presented. The scheme of serological grouping, accepted in the USSR, has been brought into accord with the current nomenclature of O-antigens, proposed by Lányi and Bergan. The O-antigen composition of the typing strains belonging to groups 3 and 9 according to the classification of Lányi-Bergan has been deciphered, which allows one to extend the antigenic scheme of P. aeruginosa by introducing new antigenic variants.
