Characterization of a Propionibacterium acnes Surface Protein as a Fibrinogen-Binding Protein
Abstract Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is a major skin-associated bacterium that was long considered commensal, until several studies revealed it to be an opportunistic pathogen. We investigated the ability of P. acnes surface proteins to recognize ECM proteins and showed that a 58 kDa P. acnes...
