Identification of a Glycosaminoglycan Binding Region of the Alpha C Protein That Mediates Entry of Group B Streptococci into Host Cells

27 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) frequently colonizes the human gastrointestinal and gynecological tracts and less frequently causes deep tissue infections. The transition between colonization and infection depends upon the ability of the organism to cross epithelial barriers. The alpha C protein (ACP) on the surface of GBS contributes to this process. A virulence factor in mouse models of infection, and prototype for...
