The FbaB-type fibronectin-binding protein of Streptococcus pyogenes promotes specific invasion into endothelial cells
25 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Invasive serotype M3 Streptococcus pyogenes are among the most frequently isolated organisms from patients suffering from invasive streptococcal disease and have the potential to invade primary human endothelial cells (EC) via a rapid and efficient mechanism. FbaB protein, the fibronectin-binding protein expressed by M3 S. pyogenes, was herein identified as a potent invasin for EC. By combining heterologous gene...
