Is streptolysin S of group A streptococci a virulence factor?

APMIS : acta pathologica, microbiologica, et immunologica Scandinavica - 1 Dec 1999

Ginsburg I

Abstract excerpt

The possible role played by streptolysin S (SLS) of group A streptococci in the pathophysiology of streptococcal infections and in post-streptococcal sequelae is discussed. The following properties of SLS justify its definition as a distinct virulence factor: 1) its presence on the streptococcus surface in a cell-bound form, 2) its continuous and prolonged synthesis by resting streptococci, 3) its...
