The Novel Fibrinogen-Binding Protein FbsB Promotes<i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i>Invasion into Epithelial Cells

20 May 2004

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus agalactiae is a major cause of bacterial sepsis and meningitis in human newborns. The interaction of S. agalactiae with host proteins and the entry into host cells thereby represent important virulence traits of these bacteria. The present report describes the identification of the fbsB gene, encoding a novel fibrinogen-binding protein that plays a crucial role in the invasion of S. agalactiae into...
