Abstract
Summary: Sterile agar beads plus Pseudomonas aemginosa injected intratracheally produced local infection in rats, similar to that described for the injection of agar beads containing the same pathogen. It is suggested that it is not necessary for P. aemginosa to be inside the beads to induce lung infection.
