Examinations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from clinical material from newborns and puerperae and from the environmental objects (washings off, water) have shown that 45.45% of these strains belonged to serotype 04, 24.55% to serotype 02, and 16.38% to other serotypes. Serotype 04 was the most incident in all the tested samples, it was detectable in newborns' biotopes and on environmental objects. Serotype 02 strains ranked second in incidence; they were detected in clinical material from the newborns but not on environmental objects.
