Growth of group B streptococci in human serum leads to increased cell surface sialic acid and decreased activation of the alternative complement pathway.

abstract：:Bovine tuberculosis is still rife in Latin America, producing huge economic losses. There are very few studies of the way this disease is spread through this geographical region, particularly in countries that border those that are almost free of Mycobacterium bovis. In this work, we have analyzed the spacer oligonucl...
