The enzymes which are released into the environment by pathogenic microorganisms are of importance in a consideration of the mechanism of disease processes, since they may play a rtle in the virulence and invasiveness of the bacteria as well as in specific tissue injuries. In this connection, it is of interest that certain of the bacterial exotoxins have recently been demonstrated to be enzymat...
