SUMMARY Fleece rot isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were characterised in terms of biochemical reactions, serological typing and production of keratinase, lipase and the potentially dermal necrotic enzymes exotoxin A, protease, elastase phosholipase and lecithinase. The similarities generally obtained between these characteristics of isolates from sheep and man suggests a role for P. aeruginosa and mechanisms of pathogenesis in the development of the dermatitis associated with fleece rot.
