Mucosal vaccination with pili from Group A Streptococcus expressed on Lactococcus lactis generates protective immune responses
Abstract The human pathogen Group A Streptococcus (GAS) produces pili that are involved in adhesion and colonisation of the host. These surface-exposed pili are immunogenic and therefore represent an attractive target for vaccine development. The pilus is encoded in the genomic region known as the f...
