Evaluation of a FRET-peptide substrate to predict virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Evaluation of a FRET-peptide substrate to predict virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a number of proteases that are associated with virulence and disease progression. A substrate able to detect P. aeruginosa-specific proteolytic activity could help to rapidly alert clinicians to the virulence potential of individual P. aeruginosa strains. For this pur...
