Fhb, a Novel Factor H-Binding Surface Protein, Contributes to the Antiphagocytic Ability and Virulence of Streptococcus suis
24 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes sepsis and meningitis in piglets and humans. The mechanisms of S. suis serotype 2 invasive disease are not well understood. The surface proteins of pathogens usually play important roles in infection and bacterium-host interactions. Here, we identified a novel surface protein that contributed significantly to the virulence of S. suis serotype...
