Abstract excerpt
Haemophilus ducreyi causes the genital ulcerative disease chancroid. One putative virulence factor of H. ducreyi is a pore-forming hemolysin that displays toxicity against human fibroblasts and keratinocytes. In order to test the role of the hemolysin in pathogenesis, an isogenic hemolysin-deficient mutant was constructed, designated 35000HP-RSM1. The lipooligosaccharide, outer membrane protein patterns, and...
