[Collagenolytic enzymes of pathogenic microorganisms].
The review summarizes characteristics of pathogenic microbial collagenolytic enzymes. Th collagenases usually represent the main factors of virulence; they provide microbe penetration int host tissues and supply microorganisms with nutritients. The study of these enzymes is of great valu for scientific, medical and biochemical purposes.
