A Functional Two-Partner Secretion System Contributes to Adhesion of <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> to Epithelial Cells

15 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis is a frequent commensal of the human nasopharynx causing severe invasive infections in rare cases. A functional two-partner secretion (TPS) system in N. meningitidis, composed of the secreted effector protein HrpA and its cognate transporter HrpB, is identified and characterized in this study. Although all meningococcal strains harbor at least one TPS system, the hrpA genes display...
