Fisher Scientific Award Lecture — The capsular polysaccharides of Group B Streptococcus and Streptococcus suis differently modulate bacterial interactions with dendritic cells1This article is based on an Award Lecture by Dr. Mariela Segura at the 61st Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists in St. John’s, Newfoundland, on 23 June 2011. Dr. Segura was the recipient of the 2011 Fisher Scientific Award, a national award sponsored by Fisher Scientific to recognize excellence in microbiology research.
