These bacterial components would be able to directly interact with the host mucosal cells; they include exopolysaccharides, bacteriocins, lipoteichoic acids and surface-associated and extracellular proteins. Extracellular proteins include proteins that are actively transported to the bacterial surroundings through the cytoplasmic membrane, as well as those that are simply shed from the bacterial surface. Compared to the other bacterial components, the interactive ability of extracellular proteins/ peptides has been less extensively studied. In this review, current findings supporting an interaction between TI - Extracellular proteins secreted by probiotic bacteria as mediators of effects that promote mucosa–bacteria interactions JF - Microbiology DO - 10.1099/mic.0.044057-0 DA - 2010-11-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/extracellular-proteins-secreted-by-probiotic-bacteria-as-mediators-of-YKsmumbCzB DP - DeepDyve ER -
