Involvement of streptococcal mitogenic exotoxin Z in streptococcal toxic shock syndrome.

Lily Yang1, Mark Thomas, Andrew Woodhouse, Diana Martin, John D Fraser, Thomas Proft.   

Abstract

We report a nonfatal case of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) caused by a Streptococcus pyogenes emm118 strain encoding a novel variant of streptococcal mitogenic exotoxin Z (SMEZ-34). This variant was responsible for the major mitogenic activity in the cell culture supernatant. Patient sera showed seroconversion toward SMEZ, implying a role for this toxin in STSS.
