The Alpha-like surface proteins: an example of an expanding family of adhesins.

The International journal of artificial organs - 1 Sept 2008

Creti R, Baldassarri L, Montanaro L, Arciola C R

Abstract excerpt

The Alpha-like protein (Alp) family, repeat-containing surface proteins once thought to be important adhesion factors confined to pathogenic streptococci and enterococci, is broader than previously known. Analysis of the annotated microbial genomes has identified new potential members of the Alp...
