RadA, a MSCRAMM Adhesin of the Dominant Symbiote <i>Ruminococcus gnavus</i> E1, Binds Human Immunoglobulins and Intestinal Mucins

Adhesion to the digestive mucosa is considered a key factor for bacterial persistence within the gut. In this study, we show that <i>Ruminococcus gnavus</i> E1 can express the <i>radA</i> gene, which encodes an adhesin of the MSCRAMMs family, only when it colonizes the gut. T...
