Distribution of the Intermedilysin Gene among the Anginosus Group Streptococci and Correlation between Intermedilysin Production and Deep-Seated Infection with Streptococcus intermedius
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
The distribution of intermedilysin, a human-specific cytolysin, among the anginosus group streptococci and the correlation of toxin production and infection by Streptococcus intermedius were investigated. PCR and Southern hybridization specific for the intermedilysin gene revealed that the toxin gene exists only in S. intermedius and no homologue to the toxin gene is distributed in S. anginosus and S....
