Abstract
A computer-based numerical approach to the allocation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriphage patterns has been presented. This rendered a usefule identification of similar phage types. The grouping had epidemiological relevance. Grouping of phage typing patterns of P. aeruginosa by numerical analysis showed that the patterns of related isolations may differ in one strong lysotype reaction, occasionally even in more reactions. Thus parallels previous findings which have been based on studies of the reproducibility of the method and evaluations of differences in epidemiologically related strains from the same sources.
