Group A strep infections can occur any time during the year. However, some infections are more common in the United States in certain seasons: Strep throat and scarlet fever are more common in the winter and spring. Impetigo is more common in the summer. Anyone can get a group A strep...
We chose to use minipigs as a nonrodent species for toxicology tests with the StreptInCor candidate vaccine. Minipigs have been increasingly used in toxicological studies for safety assessment as an alternative to dogs and primates, especially in Canada, the European Community and the United States...
Another species of the genusStreptococcusof the familyStreptococcaceaerepresents an important human pathogen in the perinatal field:Streptococcus agalactiaeor group Bstreptococcus. Some important clinical differences as well as parallels between group A and group B streptococcus have been established in the...
To investigate whether species specificity of PLG is related to SEN binding, dot spot overlay analyses using human and bovine PLG were employed. SEN bound strongly to human PLG in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas only slight binding to a high concentration of bovine PLG could be detected...
Groups A, B, C, and D streptococci have also been isolated from man; group D streptococci are routinely isolated as common bacteria of human and animal intestinal flora. Group A streptococci (the most common species causing disease in man is S. pyogenes) and group B streptococci are ...
