Loss of the Group A Streptococcus Regulator Srv Decreases Biofilm Formation In Vivo in an Otitis Media Model of Infection
31 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a common causative agent of pharyngitis, but the role of GAS in otitis media is underappreciated. In this study, we sought to test the hypothesis that GAS colonizes the middle ear and establishes itself in localized, three-dimensional communities representative of biofilms. To test this hypothesis, the middle ears of chinchillas were infected with either a strain of GAS capable of...
