Journal of clinical pathology, 1972•jcp.bmj.comThe factors concerned with the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are relatively labile
and can be enhanced by passage. Virulence is further enhanced if the serum transferrin of
the host is saturated with iron. These results draw attention to the possible serious
consequences of accidental passage in hospitals, and focus attention on the importance of
transferrin as a factor in non-specific resistance.
