[Studies on tissue affinity of serogroups of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (author's transl)]. 1979

R Ansorg

The distributions of serogroups of 316 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from respiratory secretions (134), urines (105) and wound secretions (77) of patients in various hospitals show significant accumulations of 0-groups 1 (wound secretions), 4 and 5 (respiratory secretions). The statistical prevalence of these serogroups is due to their overproportional frequency in specimens from particular hospitals and, therefore, caused by local epidemiologic situations. There is no evidence that P. aeruginosa strains with certain 0 antigens have a special affinity to wounds, the respiratory, or the urinary tract.
