Presence of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A and C genes in human isolates of group G streptococci

1 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

The bacteriophage-associated genes speA and speC encode streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins of group A streptococci (GAS). Human isolates of group C and G streptococci (GCS and GGS) are commensals and the closest known genetic relatives of GAS; on occasion, GCS-GGS can cause infection that is clinically similar to GAS disease. Thirty-four human isolates of GCS-GGS were tested for speA and speC. Two GGS isolates...
