摘要: The Mycoplasma pulmonis Vsa proteins are a family of size- and phase-variable lipoproteins that shield the mycoplasmas from complement modulate attachment to abiotic surfaces. Mycoplasmas producing long protein hemadsorb poorly yet proficient at colonizing rats mice. effect length on epithelial cells has not been previously explored. We find independent isotype, with many tandem repeats adhere murine MLE-12 compared short Vsa. also mutants lacking EPS-I polysaccharide M. pulmonis exhibited decreased adherence cells, even though it shown such have an enhanced ability form biofilm.
