Pathogenic streptococci express collagen‐like surface proteins (Scl), which structurally resemble human collagen. Lukomski et al. review the activities of these proteins in human tissue and blood that facilitate tissue adherence, biofilm formation, and immune evasion. For details see the article by Lukomski et al. on pp. 919–930 of this issue.
