|
Definition
- M protein (cellular antigen) - Major virulence factor
- Protein G (cellular antigen) - anti phagocytic
- Capsule (cellular antigen) - anti phagocytic
- Streptolysin O (cytolytic toxin; anti RBCs and phagocytes)
- Streptolysin S (cytolytic toxin; anti RBCs and phagocytes)
- SpeA, SpeC (superantigens, inflammatory) - Pyrogenic; Activates T-cells
- Exo-enzynes

2. Pneumolysin (cross reacts with Streptolysin O; kills phagocytes)
3. Exotoxins
(4. IgA protease) |

Definition
1. Capsule (major virulence factor; b=bad)
2. LPS
3. Exoenzymes
(4. IgA proteases)

Term
|
Definition
1. Pertussis toxin - increased intracellular cAMP (neutrophil inhibition)
2. Tracheal cytotoxin - inhibits cilliated cells; inflammatory
3. Adenylate cyclase (adds baterial cAMP) - neutrophil inhibition
