Abstract

We proved that our improved egg york agar medium was useful for the semiquantitative estimation of the protease production as well as for the de-tection of protease-producing strains of various bacteria. The results obtained by this method suggested that bacterial extracellular proteases might play an important role in the pathogenicity of opportunistic pathogens.
