VIRULENCE FACTOR OF GROUP A S.pyogenes
Antiphagocytic for ADHERENCE to mucosal cells
M protein
Able to bind beta globulin Factor H, also binds to Fibrinogen Blocking Complement Alternate Pathway activation:
M PROTEIN
A serine protease capable of inactivating the Chemotactic Factor for Neutrophils And Monocytes:
C5a Peptidase (anapylatoxin)
Mediates ADHERENCE to host epithelial cells:
Protein F (fibronectin-binding protein)
Prevents opsonized phagocytosis, Mask Bacterial Antigens
Hyaluronic acid capsule
Degrades host DNA (DNase) and RNA
Streptodornase or DNases
Causes lysis of fibrin clots
Streptokinase (Fibrinolysin).
Solubilizes hyaluronic acid in connective tissue or Duran Reynal
Hyaluronidase
Subsurface hemolysin (Oxygen Labile)
Toxic to RBC’s WBCs and platelets
Induces antibody response
A. Streptolysin S
