Outer Membrane Protein DsrA Is the Major Fibronectin-Binding Determinant of Haemophilus ducreyi

The ability to bind extracellular matrix proteins is a critical virulence determinant for skin pathogens. Haemophilus ducreyi, the etiological agent of the genital ulcer disease chancroid, binds extracellular matrix components, including fibronectin (FN). We investigated H. ducreyi FN binding and re...
