The virulence factors and pathogenic mechanisms of Streptococcus pyogenes

2012-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pyogenes possesses a wide variety of virulence factors and can cause severe invasive infections. Most S. pyogenes express surface-located fibronectin-binding proteins as major invasion molecules. We identified 2 novel fibronectin-binding proteins (FbaA and FbaB) in S. pyogenes isolated from patients with severe invasive infection. Fba-deficient mutant strains showed significantly lower efficiency of...
