Heterogeneous expression of Pil3 pilus is critical for <i>Streptococcus gallolyticus</i> translocation across polarized colonic epithelial monolayers
2019-06-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Streptococcus gallolyticus subspecies gallolyticus ( Sgg ) is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for septicaemia and endocarditis in elderly persons. Sgg is also a commensal of the human gastrointestinal tract. Here we demonstrate that Sgg strain UCN34 translocates across tight intestinal barriers in vitro in a Pil3-dependent manner. Confocal images of UCN34 passage across human colonic c...
