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.
