Role of streptococcal T antigens in superficial skin infection.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 2007

Lizano Sergio, Luo Feng, Bessen Debra E

Abstract excerpt

FCT region genes of Streptococcus pyogenes encode surface proteins that include fibronectin- and collagen-binding proteins and the serological markers known as T antigens, some of which give rise to pilus-like appendages. It remains to be established whether FCT region surface proteins contribute to virulence by in vivo models of infection. In this study, a highly sensitive and ecologically relevant humanized...
