Glucosyltransferases of Viridans Streptococci Are Modulins of Interleukin-6 Induction in Infective Endocarditis

The glucosyltransferases (GTFs) of viridans streptococci, common pathogens of infective endocarditis, are extracellular proteins that convert sucrose into exopolysaccharides and glucans. GTFs B, C, and D of Streptococcus mutans are modulins that induce, in vitro and in vivo, the production of cytoki...
