Abstract
The effect of iron on the growth of <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> Group A and its influence on Streptolysisn S (SLS) production was investigated. Two strains of <i>S. pyogenes</i> used in this study C203S and 55903 M were grown in iron-restricted medium. The iron chelator, (Ethylenediamindi-(o- hydroxyphenyl-acetic acid) (EDDA) was added at a concentration giving a 10-fold molar excess over Fe. Successful growth of strains of <i>S. pyogenes</i> was obtained suggesting no absolute requirement for iron in the growth and the yield of SLS was not affected by the concentration of iron in the growth medium.
