However, sepsis due to GAS and toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is the most severe form of GAS infection, the latter of which is mediated by toxin releasing group A streptococcus. GAS infections appear to have been a frequent cause of mortality long before the understanding of microbiologic origins ...

All beta-hemolytic Streptococci colonies were typed as GAS using a latex test (Remel Streptex, Remel Europe Ltd. Dartford, Kent, UK). GAS isolates were identified at a reference laboratory (the Streptococcus & Diphtheria Reference Unit, Respiratory & Systemic Infection Laboratory, HPA, Colindale, ...
A群β-溶血型鏈球菌（Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus，GABHS）會因感染情況的不同而引起不同症狀及疾病。在實際的應用上，A群β-溶血型鏈球菌和化膿性鏈球菌（Streptococcus pyogenes）是指同一種菌。感染此菌引起的疾病通常可分三種不同層次；局部感染：臨床上常見有咽喉炎，可能伴有鼻咽炎、扁桃腺炎、鏈球菌性...

There are several pathogenic determinants, includingM proteinand ahyaluronic acidcapsule, both of which are anti-phagocytic.Exotoxins(A, B, C,mitogenic factorand streptococcal superantigen),haemolysins(streptolysins O and S) and enzymes (DNases,hyaluronidaseand streptokinase) are also ...

Our findings indicate that PLG functions as a molecular bridge between tricellulin and strep- tococcal surface enolase (SEN), the principal PLG-binding protein of GAS. In addition, data in the present study imply that GAS exploits the PLG-binding properties of tricellulin to translocate via ...
