Role of<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>ExsA in Penetration through Corneal Epithelium in a Novel In Vivo Model
24 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The scarified cornea keratitis model was modified to study Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of healing corneal epithelium. The new model was then used to study the role of ExsA, a transcriptional activator of P. aeruginosa, in bacterial penetration through injured and healing corneal epithelia.
