The Surface-Exposed Protein SntA Contributes to Complement Evasion in Zoonotic Streptococcus suis
16 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis is an emerging zoonotic pathogen causing streptococcal toxic shock like syndrome (STSLS), meningitis, septicemia and even sudden death in human and pigs. Serious septicemia indicates this bacterium can evade the host complement surveillance. In our previous study, a functionally unknown protein SntA of S. suis has been identified as a heme-binding protein, and contributes to virulence in pigs....
