  7. 5. Characterization of surface components of Moraxella catarrhalis and pathogenic Neisseria

    Author : Motiur Rahman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Moraxella catarrhalisantibody LPS NeisseriapiliPilC;

    Abstract : Infection is a multistep process including adhesion, colonisation, invasion and multiplication which finally results in disease. Bacterial surface components and virulence factors are essential for all these different steps and they are co-ordinately regulated during the different steps of pathogenesis and infection. READ MORE
