Neutrophil and lymphocyte responses to oral Streptococcus in Adamantiades-Behcet's disease [PDF]

, 2005
Immune reactions against microorganisms play an important pathogenic role in Adamantiades-Behçet’s disease (ABD). We had previously obtained Streptococcus sanguinis (strain BD113-20) isolated from the oral cavity of patients with ABD.

A Preliminary Study of Heart and Brain Autoreactivity After Group A Streptococcal Carbohydrate Antigen Immunization in Rabbits

Proceedings
There is current interest in the group A streptococcal carbohydrate as a vaccine antigen, and previous studies have suggested that it may induce host tissue cross-reactive autoantibodies which react with heart and brain autoantigens and which are present

A distinct sortase SrtB anchors and processes a streptococcal adhesin AbpA with a novel structural property. [PDF]

, 2016
Surface display of proteins by sortases in Gram-positive bacteria is crucial for bacterial fitness and virulence. We found a unique gene locus encoding an amylase-binding adhesin AbpA and a sortase B in oral streptococci.
