Analysis of the role of M24 protein in group A streptococcal adhesion and colonization by use of omega-interposon mutagenesis
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
We recently concluded that M protein mediates adherence of group A streptococci to HEp-2 tissue culture cells, because the N-terminal half of M protein blocked adherence and M+ strains attached in greater numbers than M- streptococci. To further assess the role of M protein in adhesion, an M-, isogenic mutant of M type M-, isogenic mutant of M type 24 group A streptococci was constructed by insertional...
