Abstract excerpt
Expression of superoxide dismutases (FeSOD and MnSOD) and catalases by laboratory strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is modulated by exogenous factors. Whether clinical isolates behave similarly and whether antioxidant enzyme expression influences P. aeruginosa virulence remain unclear. Fifty-seven P. aeruginosa blood culture isolates, plus seven pairs of blood and local-site isolates, were examined for FeSOD,...
