Expression of both M protein and hyaluronic acid capsule by group A streptococcal strains results in a high virulence for chicken embryos.

Medical microbiology and immunology - 1 Feb 1996

Schmidt K H, Günther E, Courtney H S

Abstract excerpt

The human pathogenic microorganism Streptococcus pyogenes can resist against phagocytic attack of human granulocytes. Streptococcal M protein and hyaluronic acid were identified as virulence factors involved in this protection. So far, no experiments have been reported which describe the contribution of both components together in one system. We used the chicken embryo as an in vivo phagocytosis model to...
