Characterization of Moraxella ( Branhamella ) catarrhalis lbpB , lbpA , and Lactoferrin Receptor orf3 Isogenic Mutants

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: Pathogenic members of the family Neisseriaceae produce specific receptors to acquire iron from their host's lactoferrin and transferrin. Recently, putative Moraxella catarrhalis lactoferrin receptor genes and a third open reading frame (lbpB, lbpA, and orf3) were cloned and sequenced. We describe the preliminary characterization of isogenic mutants deficient in LbpB, LbpA, or Orf3 protein.
