INTERACTION OF STREPTOCOCCAL PLASMINOGEN BINDING PROTEINS WITH THE HOST FIBRINOLYTIC SYSTEM

INTERACTION OF STREPTOCOCCAL PLASMINOGEN BINDING PROTEINS WITH THE HOST FIBRINOLYTIC SYSTEM

The ability to take advantage of plasminogen and its activated form plasmin is a common mechanism used by commensal as well as pathogenic bacteria in interaction with their respective host. Hence, a huge variety of plasminogen binding proteins and/or activation mechanisms exist. This review solely f...
