pH6 antigen of Yersinia pestis interacts with plasma lipoproteins and cell membranes
The bacterial pathogen Yersinia pestis expresses a potential adhesin, the pH6 antigen (pH6-Ag), which appears as fimbria-like structures after exposure of the bacteria to low pH. pH6-Ag was previously shown to agglutinate erythrocytes and to bind to certain galactocerebrosides. We demonstrate that p...
