Identification of zinc-dependent mechanisms used by Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> to overcome calprotectin-mediated stress

2020-08-16

Abstract excerpt

Nutritional immunity is an elegant host mechanism used to starve invading pathogens of necessary nutrient metals. Calprotectin, a metal binding protein, is produced abundantly by neutrophils and is found in high concentrations within inflammatory sites during infection. Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonizes the gastrointestinal and female reproductive tracts and is commonly associated with severe invasive infecti...
