ABSTRACT A proteomic analysis was undertaken to identify cell wall-associated proteins of
Streptococcus pyogenes. Seventy-four distinct cell wall-associated proteins were identified,
66 of which were novel. Thirty-three proteins were immunoreactive with pooled S. pyogenes-
reactive human antisera. Biotinylation of the GAS cell surface identified 23 cell wall-
associated proteins that are surface exposed.
