Abstract excerpt
The ability of group A streptococci to bind human plasminogen and plasmin has attracted interest, because it could provide the bacteria with a mechanism for invasion. M or M-like proteins account for the binding of several plasma proteins to group A streptococci. To investigate whether M or M-like proteins were responsible for the binding of plasminogen to group A streptococci, acid-extracted material from a type...
