[Adhesion of Streptococci to different types of cells].
15 Streptococcus strains of different groups and types were assessed to evaluate the capacity to adhere to tissue culture cells "in vitro" (WISH, MDCK, RK-13 cells). This ability is not similar for different cells and not type-specific in group A Streptococci, but it seems more elevated in M+ strains. The microscopic technique generally agree to the radioactive one, nevertheless using both methods it is possible to improve the results.
