A novel sialic acid-binding adhesin present in multiple species contributes to the pathogenesis of Infective endocarditis

Bacterial binding to platelets is a key step in the development of infective endocarditis (IE). Sialic acid, a common terminal carbohydrate on host glycans, is the major receptor for streptococci on platelets.
