A More Sensitive Plate Assay for Detection of Protease Production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

¹ Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Oregon Health Sciences Center, Portland, Oregon 97201

ABSTRACT

A plate assay to measure protease production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is described. This assay is more sensitive and rapid than established methods.
