The role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exo-enzymes was evaluated in a murine model of endogenous bacteraemia in which the bacteria invaded the bloodstream after oral dosing. Although an elastase mutant PAO-E64 was as virulent as its parent strain PAO1, an exo-enzyme S-deficient mutant, DG1-ExS5 and alkaline protease mutants PAKS-16, PAKS-17, PAKS-19, were less virulent than their parent strains, DG1 and PAKS-1, respectively (p < 0.01). Thus exo-enzyme S and alkaline protease, but not elastase, appear to contribute to the pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa in this model.
在口服给药后细菌侵入血流的内源性菌血症小鼠模型中,对铜绿假单胞菌外酶的作用进行了评估。尽管弹性蛋白酶突变体PAO-E64与其亲本菌株PAO1的毒力相同,但外酶S缺陷突变体DG1-ExS5和碱性蛋白酶突变体PAKS-16、PAKS-17、PAKS-19的毒力分别低于其亲本菌株DG1和PAKS-1(p<0.01)。因此,在该模型中,外酶S和碱性蛋白酶而非弹性蛋白酶似乎对铜绿假单胞菌的致病性有影响。
