Cellular interactions by LPxTG-anchored pneumococcal adhesins and their streptococcal homologues

28 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

In this review we focus on three important families of LPxTG-anchored adhesins in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, but also their homologues in related streptococci. We discuss the contribution of these streptococcal adhesins to host tropism, pathogenesis and their interactions with different host cell types. The first surface structures discussed are the heteropolymeric pili that have been found in...
