Binding of NAD<sup>+</sup>-Glycohydrolase to Streptolysin O Stabilizes Both Toxins and Promotes Virulence of Group A <italic toggle="yes">Streptococcus</italic>

ABSTRACT The globally dominant, invasive M1T1 strain of group A Streptococcus (GAS) harbors polymorphisms in the promoter region of an operon that contains the genes encoding streptolysin O (SLO) and NAD+-glycohydrolase (NADase), resulting in high-level expression of these toxins. While both toxins...
