Strains of bacterial species induce a greatly varied acute adaptive immune response: The contribution of the accessory genome
11 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
A fundamental question in human susceptibility to bacterial infections is to what extent variability is a function of differences in the pathogen species or in individual humans. To focus on the pathogen species, we compared in the same individual the human adaptive T and B cell immune response to multiple strains of two major human pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. We found wide...
