It reveals that bacteria that cause chronic infections, such as periodontitis, and bacteria that cause acute infections, such as dysentery, have developed similar invasion strategies.

FimA is a surface-associated protein of Streptococcus parasanguis which is associated with initial colonization of damaged heart tissue in rat endocarditis. In this study it was shown that anti-FimA immune serum decreases adherence of S. parasanguis to platelet-matrix in vitro. Furthermore, FimA immunization protected rats from developing S. parasanguis endocarditis providing evidence that FimA is an important virulence determinant of S. parasanguis endocarditis.
