“…Our interest in the epidemiology of multiresistant serotype 0 12 P. aeruginosa was first stimulated by the finding that strains of this serotype in Athens, Greece (2) were indistinguishable by phage and pyocin typing from an 0 12 strain which was endemic in an English burns unit in 1982 (13). Furthermore, reports had appeared describing a high incidence of 0 12 strains in Rome and Palermo, Italy (4) and Jolimont, Belgium (5) with frequencies ranging from 11-7 to 42 % respectively of all P. aeruginosa isolated.…”

“…Five hundred and fifty-seven cultures were kindly provided by 16 laboratories in 10 European countries (Table 1). In addition, serotype 0 12 isolates from an outbreak in a London (Roehampton) burns unit (13) and recent isolates from this unit were included. The serotype strains and antisera were as described (8) and the phage and respective propagating strains were 7, 16, 21, 24, 31, 44, 68, 73, F7, F8, F10, 109, 119X, 352, 1214, M4, M6, C21, Cl1, C18 and 188/1 Carbenicillin and gentamicin resistance.…”
