  • Title: Inactivation of the vascular permeability-increasing activity of bradykinin by mycoplasmas.
    Author: Shibata K, Watanabe T.
    Journal: FEMS Microbiol Lett; 1989 Nov; 53(1-2):149-52. PubMed ID: 2515097.
    Abstract:
    Mycoplasma pneumoniae, M. genitalium, M. fermentans, M. hominis, M. salivarium, M. orale, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Acholeplasma laidlawii inactivated the vascular permeability-increasing activity of bradykinin when the mixture of bradykinin and mycoplasma cells was injected after incubation at 37 degrees C for 1 h. Cell components responsible for inactivation of the activity of bradykinin were found to be arginine-specific aminopeptidase and carboxypeptidase.
