摘要
革兰氏阳性病原菌拥有多种毒力因子,它们在病原菌生长及侵染宿主的各个时期发挥着重要作用.它们不仅参与病原菌的细胞分裂和增殖,同时还介导病原菌黏附和侵染宿主.基于本研究组近十年来对两种重要的人类病原微生物肺炎链球菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的研究,并整合国内外相关研究进展,简要综述了病原菌重要表面毒力因子的结构和功能,以及与宿主天然免疫模式识别受体相互作用的分子机制.
Gram-positive pathogens encode various virulence factors, which are required for their growth and pathogenesis. These virulence factors not only participate in cell division and proliferation, but also mediate adhesion to and invasion of the host. Owing to investigations on the two important human pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus in the last decade, we have obtained some meaningful insights into the virulence factors on the bacterial surface. Here, we focus on the structures and functions of several major virulence factors in order to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which they contribute to pathogen-host recognition.
