Elucidation of the DNA sequence of Streptococcus uberis adhesion molecule gene (sua) and detection of sua in strains of Streptococcus uberis isolated from geographically diverse locations
TL;DR: Cloning and sequencing the SUAM gene (sua), which codes for the first described S. uberis adhesin, SUAM, was cloned and sequenced and detected in all strains of S. Uberis, suggesting that it is conserved.

Predicted antigenic regions of Streptococcus uberis adhesion molecule (SUAM) are involved in adherence to and internalization into mammary epithelial cells.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Kyte/Doolittle hydropathicity prediction method, Chou/Fasman β-turn prediction method and output from Coils, Paircoil and MultiCoil scores for predicting secondary and tertiary structures were used.

Binding of host glycosaminoglycans and milk proteins: possible role in the pathogenesis of Streptococcus uberis mastitis.
TL;DR: Great adherence to and internalization into mammary epithelial cells were observed when heparin sulfate and milk were used compared with any other GAG and FBS.

Induction of surface-associated proteins of Streptococcus uberis by cultivation with extracellular matrix components and bovine mammary epithelial cells
TL;DR: In this article, surfaceassociated protein expression by Streptococcus uberis was influenced by the presence of collagen, laminin and bovine mammary epithelial cells in the culture medium.
