Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pyogenes is the causative agent in a wide range of diseases of humans of varying severity. During a study scanning the genome sequence of a serotype M1 invasive isolate SF370 for novel surface proteins, an ORF, designated sclB, was identified. The putative protein encoded by sclB contains both a signal peptide and classic Gram-positive wall-associated sequences. Comparison of the sequences of this...
