A PTS EII mutant library in Group A Streptococcus identifies a promiscuous man‐family PTS transporter influencing SLS ‐mediated hemolysis
8 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
The Group A Streptococcus (GAS, Streptococcus pyogenes) is a Gram-positive human pathogen that must adapt to unique host environments in order to survive. Links between sugar metabolism and virulence have been demonstrated in GAS, where mutants in the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) exhibited Streptolysin S (SLS)-mediated hemolysis during exponential growth. This early onset...
