Lancefield Groups • Membrane Ag • Groups A-H, K-V • Group A • Strep. pyogenes • Group B • Strep. agalactiae • Group C, F, G • Strep equisimilis • Strep zooepidemicus • Strep anguinosus • Group D • E. faecalis • Strep bovis • Strep equines • Group K • Strep salivarius • Viridans • Strep mutans • Strep mitis • Strep sanguis • Pneumococci

  4. Strep Virulence Factors

  5. GAS: Strep pyogenes • Location • Skin, mm • Resp: pharynx • Pathogenicity • Adhesins • Protein F and S (fibronectin) • Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) • Immune evasion • Protein M • Binds to fibrinogen • Mimics CT/Muscle antigens • Capsule (hyaluronic acid) • Proteins • Streptolysins (leukocidins) • Function • Lyse formed elements • Beta hemolysis • Types • S = O2 stable • O = O2 labile

  6. Strep pyogenes • Enzymes • Streptokinase • Break down clots • DNase B • depolymerize • Hyaluronidase • Proteases • C5a peptidase • Decrease chemotaxis • Toxins Exotoxins • Pyrogenic (A, B, C) • Superantigens • Increase immune cytokines • Promote fever • TSS like syndrome • Sepsis • M1 and M3 strains
