Opacification Domain of Serum Opacity Factor Inhibits Beta-Hemolysis and Contributes to Virulence of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus pyogenes</named-content>
ABSTRACT Serum opacity factor (SOF) is a cell surface virulence factor made by the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes. We found that S. pyogenes strains with naturally occurring truncation mutations in the sof gene have markedly enhanced beta-hemolysis. Moreover, deletion of the sof gene in a SOF...
