A direct link between carbohydrate utilization and virulence in the major human pathogen group A <i>Streptococcus</i>
30 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Although central to pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms used by microbes to regulate virulence factor production in specific environments during host-pathogen interaction are poorly defined. Several recent ex vivo and in vivo studies have found that the level of group A Streptococcus (GAS) virulence factor gene transcripts is temporally related to altered expression of genes encoding carbohydrate utilization...
