Abstract excerpt
The bacterial human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococci, GAS) is able to adhere to, internalize into and cross-talk on multiple levels with its host cells. To gain insight into the Fas function in pathogenesis we used Affymetrix human genome DNA-arrays to measure temporal and global transcriptional responses of HEp-2 cells infected with M49 S. pyogenes wild-type bacteria and DeltafasX, an...
