Abstract
The precise levels in mammalian tissues of rhamnose (a constituent of the group-specific polysaccharide) and muramic acid (a constituent of peptidoglycan) at various times after systemic administration of streptococcal cell walls were noted for the first time. The extreme resistance of the streptococcal cell wall to degradation by mammalian enzymes can now be clearly appreciated. The results help explain the chronic nature of certain inflammatory diseases elicited by streptococcal cell wall debris.
