Selective distribution of a high-affinity plasminogen-binding site among group A streptococci associated with impetigo.

Infection and immunity - 1 Aug 1999

Svensson M D, Sjöbring U, Bessen D E

Abstract excerpt

Group A streptococci can be classified according to their tendency to cause either impetigo, pharyngitis, or both types of infection. Genotypic markers for tissue site preference lie within emm genes, which encode fibrillar surface proteins that play a key role in virulence. emm gene products (M and M-like proteins) display an extensive array of binding activities for tissue and plasma proteins of the human host....
