Peptidoglycan Mediates Loa22 and Toll-like Receptor 2 Interactions in Pathogenic <i>Leptospira</i>
2019-01-14
Abstract excerpt
Leptospirosis is an overlooked zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira. The kidney is the major organ infected by Leptospira which causes tubulointerstitial nephritis. Leptospira outer membrane components contain several virulence factors that play important roles in the pathogenesis of leptospirosis. Among them, OmpA-like protein Loa22 is essential for leptospiral virulence. However, the pathogenic me...
