Plasminogen- and Fibronectin-binding Protein B Is Involved in the Adherence of Streptococcus pneumoniae to Human Epithelial Cells

5 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The ability of this bacterium to adhere to epithelial cells is considered as an essential early step in colonization and infection. By screening a whole genome phage display library with sera from infected patients, we previously identified three antigenic fragments matching open reading frame spr0075 of the strain R6 genome. This...
