Fibronectin binding protein.

A) Binding site of FnbpB primers used in this study showed variation in the length of C-terminal fibronectin binding motifs among the S. schleiferi published sequences B) CLUSTALW alignment of the amino acid sequences of the fibronectin tandem repeats of FnB protein among six S. schleiferi and S. coagulans isolates of human (H) and canine (C) origin in comparison with S. aureus NCTC 8325 FnB. The annotation label indicates the fibronectin repeat region (1–5). Numbers between braces indicate the number of fibronectin tandem repeats. Gray shading indicates 80–100% similarity between sequences. (PDF)
