abstract：:Fibronectin binds to Streptococcus pyogenes, and this binding is inhibited by lipoteichoic acid (LTA). Previous studies have shown that LTA can be released from S. pyogenes by treatment with penicillin. Penicillin released LTA from both S. pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus; however, the binding of fibronectin correla...
