1. Resistance to phagocytosis in Streptococcus pyogenes
Sammanfattning : Phagocytosis of Streptococcus pyogenes is complement dependent. However, the cell wall-associated M protein, which exists in >100 different serotypes (M types), enables the bacteria to evade phagocytosis. LÄS MER
2. Interactions between streptococcal M proteins and human plasma proteins
Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pyogenes is a common human pathogen, which causes a variety of diseases. A major virulence factor of S. pyogenes is the surface-associated M protein, which mediates resistance to phagocytosis. Several studies indicate that M proteins inhibit complement deposition and thereby phagocytosis. LÄS MER
