[The bacteriocin typing of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains].

Abstract

Results of bacteriocin typing of 196 strains of the Klebsiella genus are presented. They are typified by their sensitivity to bacteriocins and by their production using colicinogenic and indicating strains from collection of P. Fredericq [correction of Frederick], D. G. Kudlaĭ, N. I. Koshanova as well as klebocinogenic K-type cultures of Klebsiella previously suggested by the authors. Investigation results have shown sufficient stability of a bacteriocinotype of the cultures confirmed by the population analysis. It is concluded that bacteriocin typing may be recommended as an additional method in epidemiological labelling of Klebsiella cultures.
