M-related protein (Mrp) contributes to group A streptococcal resistance to phagocytosis by human granulocytes.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 1996

Podbielski A, Schnitzler N, Beyhs P, Boyle M D

Abstract excerpt

The M protein has been postulated to be a major group A streptococcal (GAS) virulence factor because of its contribution to the bacterial resistance to opsonophagocytosis. Direct evidence of this was only provided for GAS strains which expressed a single M protein. The majority of GAS express add...
