Expression of fibronectin-binding protein FbpA modulates adhesion in Streptococcus gordonii The GenBank accession number for the sequence reported in this paper is X65164.

Abstract excerpt

Fibronectin binding is considered to be an important virulence factor in streptococcal infections. Adhesion of the oral bacterium Streptococcus gordonii to immobilized forms of fibronectin is mediated, in part, by a high molecular mass wall-anchored protein designated CshA. In this study, a second fibronectin-binding protein of S. gordonii is described that has been designated as FbpA (62.7 kDa). This protein,...
