951 Ps. aeruginosa strains were isolated from the patients at the hospital wards of Diyarbakir Medical Faculty. These strains were identified on the basis of methods employed by Gilardi. Anti-O typing sera were prepared with 17 Ps. aeruginosa strains obtained from Pasteur Institute of Paris. Ps. aeruginosa strains, isolated by slide agglutination and tube agglutination techniques were identified using Anti-O typing sera. According to these tests, Habs's strains 0:1, 0:3, 0:4, 0:7, 0:8, 0:9 0:10, 0:11, 0:12 and Sandvik's 0:13 and Veron's 0:2b, 0:2ab, 0:5d, 0:5cd strains were identified. Habs's strains 0:2, 0:5, 0:6 were not detectable. The most frequent type was 0:12 (26.39%) and the less frequent ones were 0:1 (2.31%) and 0:8 (2.31%).
