Abstract

The data on the sensitivity of P. aeruginosa clinical strains to pyocyaneum, a therapeutic and prophylactic bacteriophage preparation, and to individual groups of phages contained in this preparation are presented. Out of 549 P. aeruginosa strains, 16% have proved to be nonlysing cultures. The proportion of phage-sensitive strains prevailed in serogroups 01, 03, 06, 09, while phage-resistant strains prevailed in serogroups 04, 07, 011, as well as among O-nontyped cultures. The expediency of introducing P. aeruginosa strains of different serotypes into the collection of cultures used for the production of pyocyaneum has been shown.
