Platelet Activation and Aggregation Induced by Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus Complex

Platelet Activation and Aggregation Induced by Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus Complex

ABSTRACT Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism. While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been...
