WebbThe Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus) is a major human pathogen that causes a variety of diseases, including acute pharyngitis and the streptococcal toxic shock syndrome [12]. The surface-local-ized M protein, which is the most extensively studied virulence factor of S. pyogenes, is a dimeric coiled-coil that WebbCharacterization of the serum opacity factor of a strain of streptococcus pyogenes Top.

WebbVirulence Factors of S. pyogenes Strep. pyogenes produces a wide array of virulence factors, include: (1) Protein M (major virulence factor) , fibronectin-binding protein … WebbSurface proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes are important virulence factors. Here we describe a novel collagen-like surface protein, designated SclA (streptococcal collagen-like surface protein). The sclA gene was identified in silico using the Streptococcal Genome Sequencing Project with the recently identified protein GRAB as the probe. SclA has a … this research aims to synonym
