Investigation of the Role That NADH Peroxidase Plays in Oxidative Stress Survival in Group B Streptococcus
20 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Macrophages play an important role in defending the host against infections by engulfing pathogens and containing them inside the phagosome, which consists of a harsh microbicidal environment. However, many pathogens have developed mechanisms to survive inside macrophages despite this challenge.
