Allelic variation of polymorphic locus lytB, encoding a choline-binding protein, from streptococci of the mitis group.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Dec 2005

Moscoso Miriam, Obregón Virginia, López Rubens, García José L, García Ernesto

Abstract excerpt

The choline-binding protein LytB, an N-acetylglucosaminidase of Streptococcus pneumoniae, is the key enzyme for daughter cell separation and is believed to play a critical pathogenic role, facilitating bacterial spreading during infection. Because of these peculiarities LytB is a putative vaccine...
