Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a microorganism of the terrestrial and aquatic environment which may cause pulmonary, urinary and corneal infections. The pathogenesis of Pseudomonas-induced diseases seems to be linked to the production of extracellular substances such as exotoxins, hemolysins, leukocidins and hydrolytic enzymes, including various peptidases. Anyway there is not a clear view on the role other proteases...
