Analysis of Global Collection of Group A <italic toggle="yes">Streptococcus</italic> Genomes Reveals that the Majority Encode a Trio of M and M-Like Proteins

ABSTRACT The core Mga (multiple gene activator) regulon of group A Streptococcus (GAS) contains genes encoding proteins involved in adhesion and immune evasion. While all GAS genomes contain genes for Mga and C5a peptidase, the intervening genes encoding M and M-like proteins vary between strains. T...
