Abstract Binding of125I-labelled fibrinogen from humans, bovines, equines, canines and ovines by streptococci of serological groups A, B, C and G was determined quantitatively. All 59 randomly selected streptococcal cultures generally bound more human fibrinogen than the other fibrinogens. OnlySc. dysgalactiae had a higher affinity for bovine fibrinogen. In addition,Sc. dysgalactiae bound distinctly more equine, canine and ovine fibrinogen than the other streptococci. Some cultures ofSc. equi andSc. zooepidemicus had high binding activities for equine fibrinogen. Low binding capacities were exhibited by B-streptococci, particularly with fibrinogens from horses and dogs.
