title: Production of elastase and other exoproducts by environmental isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from environmental sources and bacteremic patients were compared for their levels of elastolytic activity. No significant differences were found. The incidence of production of toxin A, phospholipase C, alkaline protease, and elastase among the environmental strains was also as high as that previously reported for clinical isolates.
