Virulence of serotype M3 Group A Streptococcus strains in wax worms (Galleria mellonella larvae).

Virulence - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes human infections that range in severity from pharyngitis ("strep-throat") to necrotizing fasciitis ("flesh-eating disease"). To facilitate investigation of the molecular basis of host-pathogen interactions, infection models capable of rapidly screening for differences in GAS strain virulence are needed. To this end, we developed a Galleria mellonella larvae (wax worm) model of...
