Genetic linkage of exotoxin alleles and emm gene markers for tissue tropism in group A streptococci.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 Mar 1999

Abstract excerpt

In group A streptococci, genetic markers for principal tissue reservoir are located within emm genes, which encode surface proteins that have a role in virulence. A worldwide collection of 160 isolates was evaluated for two traits: chromosomal emm gene markers for tissue tropism (designated patte...
