S.pyogenes has a cell wall structure similar to that of other streptococci and gram-positive bacteria.An antigen that is not found in the other Lancefield groups is referred to as the M protein.This is a molecule attached to the peptidoglycan of the cell wall and extends to the cell surface.The M protein is essential to virulence.
