Abstract excerpt
The virulence plasmid pYVe of Yersinia enterocolitica codes for the production of the outer membrane protein YadA and the secretion of several proteins, called Yops, which may protect this bacterium against killing by human granulocytes. Granulocytes kill ingested microorganisms by oxygen-dependent and oxygen-independent mechanisms, the latter including antimicrobial polypeptides. The aim of this study was to...
