Abstract
ABSTRACT
The
lbp
gene, which encodes a laminin-binding protein (Lbp) of
Streptococcus pyogenes
, was found in all
S. pyogenes
M types. An Lbp-deficient mutant showed a significantly lower efficiency of adhesion to HEp-2 cells than did the wild-type strain. These results indicate that Lbp is one of the important
S. pyogenes
adhesins.
