Abstract
Although this ubiquitous organism only infects debilitated people, mortality remains high because of its resistance to most antibiotics. Understanding its biology and its lethal toxin, discovery of which is described in this first of several articles on P. aeruginosa, remains the key to effective immunization and management. Within cells the toxin has the same action as diphtheria toxin.Keywords
