Bacteriocin Production by Group A Streptococcal L-Forms

Waleria Hryniewicz a,1, John R Tagg a,2
PMCID: PMC429864  PMID: 795376

Abstract

L-forms induced from a bacteriocin-producing strain of group A streptococcus retained both the ability to produce the streptococcin and producer strain immunity to the homologous bacteriocin. L-forms of a spontaneously cured (bacteriocin negative) derivative of this same strain failed to produce streptococcin but were sensitive to its action.
