Bacteriophage control of antiphagocytic determinants in group A streptococci
At least two genes have been shown to be required for the expression of the antiphagocytic M protein molecule in group A streptococci. Evidence for phage involvement in the expression of M protein is that: (a) M- cultures of bacteria can be converted to the M+ state (resistant to phagocytosis) upon...
