Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces multiple virulence factors that have been implicated in pathogenesis and quorum sensing. The aim of this study was to determine differences in the virulence factors of pigmented and non-pigmented P aeruginosa isolates. METHODS: Associations were assessed between pigment production (pyocyanin and pyoverdin) and production of DNase, elastase, lipase, protease, siderophore,...
