Active and Passive Immunizations with the Streptococcal Esterase Sse Protect Mice against Subcutaneous Infection with Group A Streptococci
15 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen group A Streptococcus (GAS) produces many secreted proteins that play important roles in GAS pathogenesis, including hydrolases that degrade proteins and nucleic acids. This study targets another kind of hydrolase, carboxylic esterase, with the objectives of identifying GAS esterase and determining whether it is a protective antigen. The putative esterase gene SPy1718 was cloned, and the...
