Engagement of the Pathogen Survival Response Used by Group A <i>Streptococcus</i> to Avert Destruction by Innate Host Defense
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Neutrophils are a critical component of human innate host defense and efficiently kill the vast majority of invading microorganisms. However, bacterial pathogens such as group A Streptococcus (GAS) successfully avert destruction by neutrophils to cause human infections.
