1 Jun 1996
Abstract excerpt
Attachment to eukaryotic cell surfaces is an essential step in the establishment of colonization and infection by bacterial pathogens. This report examines the adherence capabilities of pathogenic group G streptococci and demonstrates that certain group G streptococcal clinical isolates express a fibronectin-binding protein. This protein, termed GfbA for group G streptococcal fibronectin-binding protein, mediates...
