Functional implications of the expression of PilC proteins in meningococci.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jun 1995

Virji M, Makepeace K, Peak I, Payne G, Saunders J R, Ferguson D J, Moxon E R

Abstract excerpt

Multiple forms of PilC were found in Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) strains isolated from the oropharynx, blood or cerebrospinal fluid expressing either Class I or Class II pili. PilC expression was observed less frequently in case as opposed to carrier isolates. Moreover, PilC and pili were not always co-expressed. Several heavily piliated strains had no detectable PilC protein as determined by Western blotting...
