1 Aug 1995
Abstract excerpt
The has operon is composed of three genes, hasA, hasB, and hasC that encode hyaluronate synthase, UDP-glucose dehydrogenase, and presumptively UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, respectively. Expression of the has operon was shown to be required for the synthesis of the hyaluronic acid capsule in group A streptococci. Previous studies indicated that some group A and group C streptococcal strains produce the...
