Abstract: We decompose the twisted index obstruction $heta(M)$ against positive scalar curvature metrics for oriented manifolds with spin universal cover into a pairing of a twisted $K$-homology with a twisted $K$-theory class and prove that $heta(M)$ does not vanish if $M$ is an orientable enlargeable manifold with spin universal cover.
