The Flagellum of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Is Required for Resistance to Clearance by Surfactant Protein A
Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is an important lung innate immune protein that kills microbial pathogens by opsonization and membrane permeabilization. We investigated the basis of SP-A-mediated pulmonary clearance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using genetically-engineered SP-A mice and a library of signat...
