V kno that antibodies against virulece factors gives immunity eg Abs against capsule of S.Pneumonia renders immunity against it but abs against pili of N.Gonorhea doesnt give immunity bcoz of antigenic variation.So considering s.Pyogenes amongst one of the most dangerous bugs, has actualy an antigen i.e M-protein right! Then idealy v shd hav a very gd vaccine against it which wd definately kil it but v havnt heard of any practical use of this vaccine.Y? Explain!

Bc there are so many different strains of GAS that can be both normal flora and pathogenic. In the manner, it would be very impractical to market a rhinovirus vaccine.
PS Alee, you spell with a broken arm.
