All patients were previously healthy Japanese women who developed a profound shock, with a rapidly fatal outcome, after experiencing flu-like symptoms. All cases conformed to the case definition of toxic shock-
Toxic-shock syndrome that is caused by this organism is mediated by the production of superantigens. The organism makes a capsule, a wide range of toxins and enzymes, and molecules that interfere with innate immunity. Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) can cause pneumonia and meningitis....
Abstract Streptococcus pyogenes(group AStreptococcus; GAS) is a widespread human pathogen and causes streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). STSS isolates have been previously shown to have high frequency mutations in thecsrS/csrR(covS/covR) and/orrgg(ropB) genes, which are negative regulators...
Despite its low virulence and pathogenicity, it can cause, under certain circumstances, serious infections like bacteraemia, endocarditis, meningitis, orbital cellulitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (Kutlu et al., 2008; Lyytikainen et al., 2004; Ng et al., 2005; Madhusudhan et al.,...

Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is a severe invasive infec- tion characterized by the sudden onset of shock, multi-organ failure, and high mortality [8,9], and is caused by group A Strepto- coccus (Streptococcus pyogenes). GBS causes invasive streptococcal infections, including streptococcal tox...
Here we report a case of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome(STSS) caused by S. suis in a 59-year-old man. Despite of intensive treatment, the patient died of shock with multiple organ failure 14 h after admission. One bacterial isolate obtained from blood culture was identified to the ...
2019) 19:633 Page 2 of 10 Background Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes a broad spectrum of diseases, from superficial infections such as pharyn- gitis and impetigo, to invasive infections like necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome....
In some instances, ISD can then turn into streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). With around 160,000 deaths per year and a mortality rate of over 25 percent, program leader and laboratory head Professor Michael Good said on Thursday that "STSS is an acute condition like meningococcus....
