Role of HrpA in Biofilm Formation of <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> and Regulation of the <i>hrpBAS</i> Transcripts
17 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Two-partner secretion systems of gram-negative organisms are utilized in adherence, invasion, and biofilm formation. The HrpAB proteins of Neisseria meningitidis are members of a two-partner secretion system, and HrpA is established as being important to adherence and intracellular escape. This study set out to determine the expression pattern of members of the hrpBAS putative operon and to find a functional role...
