Abstract excerpt
Production of the ADP-ribosylating enzyme exoenzyme S (ExoS) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been associated with increased virulence. Previous studies, however, have been unable to confirm an effect of soluble ExoS in cell culture or animal model systems. To determine if bacteria must come in contact with target cells in order for an effect of ExoS to be observed, coculture systems were developed to compare the...
