Bacterial Plasminogen Receptors: Mediators of a Multifaceted Relationship
BioMed Research International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Multiple species of bacteria are able to sequester the host zymogen plasminogen to the cell surface. Once localised to the bacterial surface, plasminogen can act as a cofactor in adhesion, or, following activation to plasmin, provide a source of potent proteolytic activity.

Borreliae Part 2: Borrelia Relapsing Fever Group and Unclassified Borrelia
Biology, 2021 Borreliae of the relapsing fever group (RFG) are heterogenous and can be divided mainly into three groups according to vectors, namely the soft-tick-borne relapsing fever (STBRF) Borreliae, the hard-tick-borne relapsing fever (HTBRF) Borreliae, the louse-

Serodiagnosis of Louse-Borne Relapsing Fever with Glycerophosphodiester Phosphodiesterase (GlpQ) from Borrelia recurrentis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2000 ABSTRACT Human louse-borne relapsing fever occurs in sporadic outbreaks in central and eastern Africa that are characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Isolates of the causative agent, Borrelia recurrentis , were obtained from the blood of four patients during a recent epidemic of the disease ...
