Target Cell Range of <i>Haemophilus ducreyi</i> Hemolysin and Its Involvement in Invasion of Human Epithelial Cells
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Haemophilus ducreyi, the causative agent of chancroid, produces a hemolysin, whose role in virulence is not well defined. To assess the possible role of hemolysin in pathogenesis, we evaluated its target cell range by using wild-type H. ducreyi 35000, nonhemolytic mutants with the hemolysin structural gene deleted, and isogenic strains expressing different amounts of hemolytic activity. The cytotoxicity of the...
