Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Genetic loci of Streptococcus mitis that mediate binding to human platelets.
- Clumping factor A mediates binding of Staphylococcus aureus to human platelets.
- Proteins PblA and PblB of Streptococcus mitis, which promote binding to human platelets, are encoded within a lysogenic bacteriophage.
- An accessory sec locus of Streptococcus gordonii is required for export of the surface protein GspB and for normal levels of binding to human platelets.
