PepO and CppA modulate Streptococcus sanguinis susceptibility to complement immunity and virulence

PepO and CppA modulate Streptococcus sanguinis susceptibility to complement immunity and virulence

ABSTRACTStreptococcus sanguinis is a ubiquitous commensal species of the oral cavity commonly involved as an opportunistic pathogen in cardiovascular infections. In this study, we investigated the functions of endopeptidase O (PepO) and a C3-degrading protease (CppA) in the systemic virulence of S....
