Illustration of Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Capsule during Adherence and Invasion of Epithelial Cells
TL;DR: This study illustrates for the first time the phenotypic variation of the polysaccharide capsule in the initial phase of pneumococcal infections using a modified fixation method that allowed monitoring of the state of capsule expression of pathogens during the infectious process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species-specific binding of human secretory component to SpsA protein of Streptococcus pneumoniae via a hexapeptide motif
TL;DR: Amino acid substitutions in the identified putative binding motif abolished SC‐/SIgA‐binding activity of the mutated SpsA protein, confirming the functional activity of this hexapeptide and the critical role of the amino acids YPT in SC and SIgA binding.
