Hemagglutination by <i>B. fragilis</i> is mediated by capsular polysaccharides and is influenced by host ABO blood type
2020-08-21
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial hemagglutination of red blood cells (RBCs) is mediated by interactions between bacterial cell components and RBC envelope glycans that vary across individuals by ABO blood type. ABO glycans are also expressed on intestinal epithelial cells and in most individuals secreted into the intestinal mucosa, indicating that hemagglutination by bacteria may be informative about bacteria-host interactions in the in...
