Identification and molecular characterisation of a fibrinogen binding protein from Streptococcus iniae.

BACKGROUND: Binding of serum components by surface M-related proteins, encoded by the emm genes, in streptococci constitutes a major virulence factor in this important group of organisms. The present study demonstrates fibrinogen binding by S. iniae, a Lancefield non-typeable pathogen causing devast...
