Structural and functional characterization of IdeC, a novel IgG-specific protease of Streptococcus canis

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Streptococcus canis is an important opportunistic pathogen of cats, dogs, and cows, which can cause a range of infections, ranging from skin and soft tissue infections to septicemia and endocarditis. As a zoonotic agent, S. canis has also recently been implicated in serious human infections, following trauma or immunosuppression. In this work, we describe a novel protease of S. canis , termed IdeC ( I...
