A Glutamine Transport Gene, glnQ, Is Required for Fibronectin Adherence and Virulence of Group B Streptococci

Group B streptococci (GBS) are a leading cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. GBS adhere to fibronectin when it is attached to a solid phase. We isolated a Tn917 transposon mutant, COH1-GT1, which shows decreased adherence to fibronectin. COH1-GT1 also shows decreased adherence to and invasion o...
