Laboratory diagnosis of group A streptococcal infections

TL;DR: By helping to promote and protect health and prevent and control disease throughout the world, WHO's books contribute to achieving the Organiza-tion's principal objective-the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health.

Immunochemistry and end-group analyses of group A streptococcal M proteins.

TL;DR: Whereas chemical typing is apparently unfeasible, the data indicate that type-specific M proteins may be unique proteins, reflected especially in the finding of the same N-terminus amino acid in all strains investigated.

Correlation of M Protein Production with Those Factors Found to Influence Growth and Substrate Utilization of Streptococcus pyogenes

TL;DR: The results show that M protein synthesis is subject to limited glucose repression or substrate catabolite repression.

Effect of Phenol Extraction of Group A Streptococcus on Titer and Specificity of Fluorescent M-Typing Antisera

TL;DR: Vaccines were prepared from three M-serotypes of group A Streptococcus both by conventional heating procedures and by extraction with phenol, and sera elicited by phenol-extracted cells showed no cross-reactivity in the case of two strains and reduced crossreactivity with the third.
