Treatment and diagnosis of P. aeruginosa infection or colonization is achieved in accordance with this invention by the discovery of a polypeptide which is smaller than the naturally occurring P. aeruginosa pilin protein. The pure polpeptide com- prises at teast one amino acid residue sequence containing about twelve amino acid residues and up to about twenty amino acid residues that define a sequence capable of immunologically mimicking an antigenic determinant site of P. aeruginosa pilin. This amino acid residue sequence can repeat as a unit one or more times in the same polypeptide motecute. More than one of such re- peating units and more than one repeating unit of the same type can be present in a single polypeptide molecule: The polyep- fides act as antigens or immunogens and antibodies may be raised to the immunogens and a vaccine prepared suitable for the prevention of P. deruginosa infection:
