Identification and molecular characterisation of a fibrinogen binding protein from Streptococcus iniae.

BMC microbiology - 23 Apr 2008

Baiano Justice C F, Tumbol Reiny A, Umapathy Aarti, Barnes Andrew C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Binding of serum components by surface M-related proteins, encoded by the emm genes, in streptococci constitutes a major virulence factor in this important group of organisms. The present study demonstrates fibrinogen binding by S. iniae, a Lancefield non-typeable pathogen causing devastating fish losses in the aquaculture industry and an opportunistic pathogen of humans, and identifies the proteins...
