Intermedilysin Is Essential for the Invasion of Hepatoma HepG2 Cells by <i>Streptococcus intermedius</i>
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus intermedius causes endogenous infections leading to abscesses. This species produces intermedilysin (ILY), a human-specific cytolysin. Because of the significant correlation between higher ILY production levels by S. intermedius and deep-seated abscesses, we constructed ily knockout mutant UNS38 B3 and complementation strain UNS38 B3R1 in order to investigate the role of ILY in deep-seated...
