Abstract:Introduction: The paper presents the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of the collection of 18 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates used as host indicators to study the lytic range of 12 phages against P. aeruginosa.
Methods: The phages host ranges were assayed by spot tests. Phenotypic characteristics of strains was investigated by the API 20NE biochemical fingerprinting, oxidase tests, the production of pyocyanin, fluorescein and L-arginine dihydrolase. Resistance profiles were analyzed. The PCR method and… Show more
