Function and contribution of two putative glycosaminoglycan degrading enzymes to bacteremia and catheter-associated urinary tract infection.

is a common cause of healthcare-acquired bloodstream infections and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) in both adults and children. Treatment of infection is frequently complicated by multi-drug resistance. Based on protein homology, encodes two putative hyaluronidases, EF3023 (HylA) and EF0818 (HylB).
