Identification of a Novel Virulence Determinant with Serum Opacification Activity in<i>Streptococcus suis</i>

20 Oct 2006

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is a porcine and human pathogen with adhesive and invasive properties. In other streptococci, large surface-associated proteins (>100 kDa) of the MSCRAMM family (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) are key players in interactions with host tissue. In this study, we identified a novel opacity factor of S. suis (OFS) with structural homology to members...
