Protein F1 Is Required for Efficient Entry of Streptococcus pyogenes into Epithelial Cells
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
It was recently reported that strains of Streptococcus pyogenes are capable of inducing entry of the bacterium into epithelial cells; however, nothing is known regarding the gene(s) and the underlying mechanism(s) involved. Using isogenic mutants of S. pyogenes JRS4 strain that are defective in the expression of each of the surface proteins F1 and M6, it was demonstrated that both are required for efficient...
