Inhibiting F-Actin Polymerization Impairs the Internalization of <i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i>

<i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i>, a commensal in the human nasopharynx, plays a significant role in the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Its pathogenicity involves adherence to respiratory epithelial cells, leading to infection through a macropinocytosis-...
