Cholesterol and cholesterol esters: host receptors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa adherence.
The Journal of biological chemistry - 15 Nov 1993
Rostand K S, Esko J D
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial adherence to tissues is a necessary step in infection and results from interactions between surface molecules on the bacteria (adhesins) and plasma membrane receptors on host cells. Using a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we have examined the receptors required for adherence...
