title: The influence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on liposomes.
abstract: The interaction of liposomes loaded with Ponceau red (used as a marker) with Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells was observed and it resulted in marker leakage. The marker leakage from liposomes was low in physiological fluids. The interaction was independent of secreted phospholipase C level and the serotype of the tested strain. Six of 37 examined isolates did not cause any release of the marker from the liposomes. Marker release of over 50% of total encapsulated material was observed only for ten of the strains tested.
