Abstract excerpt
The production of pyrogenic exotoxins SpeA, SpeB, and SpeC by group A streptococci has been associated with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Several epidemiological studies using DNA hybridization and PCR analysis have been performed in attempts to correlate one or several of the toxins with s...
