Immunoblotting techniques were used to study the antibody response of a burn patient during the acute phase of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. The results showed the presence in the patient's serum of antibodies to outer-membrane proteins (OMPs) including iron-regulated membrane proteins (IRMPs) of the infecting strain of P. aeruginosa as well as a representative index of Enterobacteriaceae. The patient's serum also contained antibodies which reacted with OMPs of other serotypes of P. aeruginosa.
