EmaA, a Potential Virulence Determinant of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in Infective Endocarditis

18 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

The gram-negative fastidious human oropharyngeal Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is implicated in the etiology of infective endocarditis. EmaA, an oligomeric coiled-coil adhesin homologous to YadA of Yersinia enterocolitica, was hypothesized to mediate the interaction of A. actinomycetemcomitans with collagen. Collagen, the most abundant protein in human bodies and the main component of extracellular matrix...
