Streptococcus pyogenescan also induce post-infective complications as a consequence of immunological cross-reaction between streptococcal and host antigens.Rheumatic feveris characterized by pancarditis, arthritis, skinrashes, and nodules and occurs four to six weeks after acute pharyngeal infection withS....
Being a human-adapted pathogen, Streptococcus pyogenes is able to evade the actions of innate immune defenses by producing a variety of surface-bound virulence factors such as antimicrobial peptides. Some of the infections associated with the bacteria include:Cellulitis...
The produced BGCs were confirmed by the presence of intact cells under a light microscope, the absence of growth signs upon re-cultivation. The transmembrane tunnels were visualized using a scanning electron microscope, and subsequently, considerable quantities of released DNA and protein were detected...
Streptococcus pyogenes has been reported as a rare cause of food-transmitted sore throats. Foodborne streptococcal pharyngitis is more severe and more confined to the pharynx than that caused by endemic airborne streptococci. Other diseases related to Lancefield group A streptococcus are impetigo, scarle...
Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus, GAS) is a human-restricted pathogen that causes a wide variety of human diseases ranging from commonly mild superficial infections of the pharynx and skin to life-threatening invasive diseases such as necrotizing fasciitis1,2. GAS organisms are also ...
pyogenes with hyaluronic acid capsule67. Furthermore, CcpS was evolutionarily conserved in Firmicutes and with a unique structure (Fig. 7a, b and Supplementary Fig. 9a–d). Thus, the highly conserved phosphorylation site Thr7 of CcpS is associated with conserved STK kinase, indicating the ...

Under a Creative Commons license Open accessStreptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus (GAS)) is a pathogen that invades non-phagocytic host cells, and causes a variety of acute infections such as pharyngitis. Our group previously reported that intracellular GAS is effectively degraded by the host...
