  • Title: Moraxella catarrhalis coaggregates with Streptococcus pyogenes and modulates interactions of S. pyogenes with human epithelial cells.
    Author: Lafontaine ER, Wall D, Vanlerberg SL, Donabedian H, Sledjeski DD.
    Journal: Infect Immun; 2004 Nov; 72(11):6689-93. PubMed ID: 15501804.
    Abstract:
    The pathogens Streptococcus pyogenes and Moraxella catarrhalis colonize overlapping regions of the human nasopharynx. We have found that M. catarrhalis can dramatically increase S. pyogenes adherence to human epithelial cells and that species-specific coaggregation of these bacteria correlates with this enhanced adherence.
