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. So far, all defined interactions between streptococci and sialic acid on platelets are med...
