Impact of Phosphorylcholine Expression on the Adherence and Invasion of <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> to Epithelial Cells

Impact of Phosphorylcholine Expression on the Adherence and Invasion of <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> to Epithelial Cells

Phosphorylcholine (PC) is a structural component of various pathogens and is involved in bacterial adhesion via the platelet-activating factor receptor (PAF-R). In this study, we investigated how PC expression affects cell adhesion and invasion of <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> (<i>...
