Evidence for Contribution of Tripartite Hemolysin BL, Phosphatidylcholine-Preferring Phospholipase C, and Collagenase to Virulence of Bacillus cereus Endophthalmitis

Bacillus cereus causes a highly fulminant endophthalmitis which usually results in blindness. We previously concluded that hemolysin BL (HBL), a tripartite necrotizing pore-forming toxin, is a probable endophthalmitis virulence factor because it is highly toxic to retinal tissue in vitro and in vivo...
