The Str. pyogenes cultures isolated from clinically healthy children were found to have different hydrophobic properties and quantities of surface cell wall proteins, and to exhibit pronounced variability in these signs in time. Most studied cultures lacked a correlation between their hydrophobic properties and the quantity of surface proteins of the cell wall.
