Antigenic structure
Beta-haemolytic streptococci can be divided into 20
different serologic groups according to C antigen andcertain groups can be subdivided into types according to Mand T protein-antigens:
1- CapsuleThe hyaluronic acid of the capsule is nonantigenic presumably because of its similarityto hyaluronic acid of the animal connectivetissue. So no anticapsular antibodies areformed.
![Page 30: Streptococci 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021214/577d2ac71a28ab4e1eaa1088/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2- C ell wall
a- Group specific carbohydrate (C-Ag)
This antigen is contained in the cell wall of many streptococci and
forms the basis of serologic grouping known as Lancefield
groups A-H and K-U.
b- Proteins
Streptococcus pyogenes produces 3 surface protein antigens (M,T
and R) that are useful in serotyping. Of these three, M proteins
is the most important. It acts as a virulent factor by inhibiting
phagocytosis and is also immunogenic with the formation of anti
M antibody after infection which then enhances phagocytosis.
![Page 31: Streptococci 2011](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021214/577d2ac71a28ab4e1eaa1088/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Toxins* & enzymes of F-strept
1- Streptokinase
2-Streptodornase (Streptococcal DNAase)
It depolymerizes DNA. Mixture of streptodornaseand streptokinaese help to liquefy exudates andfacilitate removal of pus and necrotic tissue,antimicrobial drugs thus gain better access andinfected surface recover more quickly.
3- Hyaluronidase (spreading factor)
It splits hyaluronic acid, an important component of the ground substance of connective tissue. Thus,hyaluronidase aids in spreading infecting microorganisms.

4- Streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin (SPE)
There are 3 antigenically distinct toxins: A, Band C. Type A corresponds to the classicerythrogenic toxin which is associated with therash in scarlet fever. Both types A and C areencoded by bacteriophage gene duringlysogenic conversion, while type B is encodedby chromosomal genes.
These 3 toxins are superantigens, in addition toscarlet fever they have been associated withstreptococcal toxic shock syndrome andnecrotizing fasciitis.

5 - H aemolysins
F-haemolytic group A streptococci elaborate twohaemolysins (streptolysins).
(a) Streptolysin O (SLO)
It is inactivated in the presence of oxygen (oxygenlabile), it is antigenic and antibody to streptolysin Odevelops after infection.
An antistreptolysin O (ASO) serum titre in excess of 160-200 units is considered abnormally high and suggestseither recent infection with streptococci or persistentlyhigh antibody levels due to an exaggerated immuneresponse to an earlier exposure in a hypersensitiveperson. ASO titre helps in the diagnosis of rheumatic fever.

b) Streptolysin S (SLS)
y it is not inactivated by oxygen (oxygenstable), it is responsible for the haemolyticzones around streptococcal colonies onblood agar plate incubated aerobically. It isnot antigenic.
