Invasive Streptococcal Infection Can Lead to the Generation of Cross-Strain Opsonic Antibodies

ABSTRACT The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes causes substantial morbidity and mortality. It is unclear if antibodies developed after infections with this pathogen are opsonic and if they are strain specific or more broadly protective. Here, we quantified the opsonic-antibody response following...
