Role of Pilus Proteins in Adherence and Invasion of Streptococcus agalactiae to the Lung and Cervical Epithelial Cells

4 Dec 2012

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus agalactiae, or group B Streptococcus (GBS), is an important opportunistic pathogen that causes pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis in neonates and severe diseases in immunocompromised adults. We have performed comparative genomics of prevalent GBS serotypes of Indian origin (i.e. Ia, III, V, and VII). Pilus-proteins were commonly found up-regulated, and their expression was studied by using antiserum...
