Targeted Amino Acid Substitutions Impair Streptolysin O Toxicity and Group A <italic toggle="yes">Streptococcus</italic> Virulence

ABSTRACT Streptolysin O is a potent pore-forming toxin produced by group A Streptococcus. The aims of the present study were to dissect the relative contributions of different structural domains of the protein to hemolytic activity, to obtain a detoxified form of streptolysin O amenable to human vac...
