Abstract excerpt
The association between possession of toxin gene-related type III secretory system, protease profiles, O serotypes, and antibiotic resistance patterns was characterized genetically and phenotypically in 46 keratitis isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There was no significant difference in exoU or exoS prevalence among the keratitis strains. Distinct protease profiles were seen in isolates harboring either exoU...
