Distribution of superantigens in group A streptococcal isolates from Salvador, Brazil.

BMC infectious diseases - 29 May 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Group A streptococcus (GAS) causes invasive disease, superficial disease, and can asymptomatically colonize humans. Superantigens are one virulence factor found in GAS. Previous studies found associations between the genes that encode superantigens and emm type of GAS. It is unknown if these associations are due to underlying biological factors that limit the distribution of superantigens or,...
