SpsA, a novel pneumococcal surface protein with specific binding to secretory immunoglobulin A and secretory component.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Sept 1997

Hammerschmidt S, Talay S R, Brandtzaeg P, Chhatwal G S

Abstract excerpt

The interaction of pathogenic bacteria with host serum and matrix proteins is a common strategy to enhance their virulence. Streptococcus pneumoniae colonizes the human upper respiratory tract in healthy individuals and is also able to cause invasive diseases. Here, we describe a novel pneumococc...
