Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains was investigated in water samples and surface material from non-clinical aquatic environments. Ten of 81 environmental isolates displayed a mucoid colony type after incubation at 36 degrees C for 24 h on Pseudomonas Isolation Agar. The mucoid strains obtained exclusively from surfaces of technical water systems were characterized in terms of medium-dependent...
