Characterization of a haemolytic phospholipase A2 activity in clinical isolates of Campylobacter concisus
18 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
A membrane-bound, haemolytic phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) activity was detected in clinical strains of Campylobacter concisus isolated from children with gastroenteritis. The clinical strains were assigned into two molecular groups (genomospecies) based on PCR amplification of their 23S rDNA. This calcium-dependent, heat-stable, haemolytic PLA(2) activity was detected in strains from both genomospecies. A crude...
