PavB is a surface‐exposed adhesin of Streptococcus pneumoniae contributing to nasopharyngeal colonization and airways infections

28 Apr 2010

Abstract excerpt

The genomic analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains identified the Pneumococcal adherence and virulence factor B (PavB), whose repetitive sequences, designated Streptococcal Surface REpeats (SSURE), interact with human fibronectin. Here, we showed the gene in all tested pneumococci and identified that the observed differences in the molecular mass of PavB rely on the number of repeats, ranging from five to...
