The role of cytolysin in pneumococcal ocular infection.

M K Johnson, J H Allen.   

Abstract

A highly purified preparation of pneumococcal cytolysin was responsible for the corneal damage that ensued upon intra-corneal injection of crude cell extract into the rabbit eye. The lysin may produce this pathologic finding by effecting activation or release of corneal degradative enzymes.
