Pseudomonas aeruginosa Elastase and Its Role in Pseudomonas Infections
Abstract
Most strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa produce three proteases with broad substrate specificities. One of these enzymes has elastolytic activity (P. aeruginosa elastase). This elastase has tissue-damaging activity and is capable of degrading various plasma proteins such as immunoglobulins, coagulation and complement factors, and alpha-proteinase inhibitor. There is evidence for a role of elastase in localized infections such as experimental pseudomonas keratitis, pneumonia, and burn infection. Once colonization and invasion has occurred and septicemia has been established, these enzymes are probably less important. Elastase is probably best classified as a virulence-enhancing factor in certain types of infections.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
