title: [Identification of the gene of type A erythrogenic toxin in strains of group A Streptococcus].
abstract: The article specifies the mechanisms of toxigenicity in clinical streptococci strains. The production of type A erythrogenic toxin is found to be related to the toxigenicity gene expression localized in moderate bacteriophage genome. The possibility of using DNA probes to assess the degree of toxigenicity is discussed together with the relationship between the toxigenicity and the gene dose.
