Anti-phagocytic mechanisms of Streptococcus pyogenes: binding of fibrinogen to M-related protein.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 2006

Courtney Harry S, Hasty David L, Dale James B

Abstract excerpt

A key attribute of invasive Streptococcus pyogenes is their ability to resist phagocytosis and multiply in human blood. M-related protein (Mrp) is a major anti-phagocytic factor but the mechanism whereby it helps streptococci to evade phagocytosis has not been demonstrated. We investigated phagocytosis resistance in a strain of serotype M4 by inactivating the mrp gene and also the emm, enn, sof and sfbX genes and...
