Novel Genes Required for the Fitness of Streptococcus pyogenes in Human Saliva

1 Nov 2017

Abstract excerpt

(group A streptococcus [GAS]) causes more than 600 million cases of pharyngitis annually worldwide, 15 million of which occur in the United States. The human oropharynx is the primary anatomic site for GAS colonization and infection, and saliva is the first material encountered. Using a genome-wide transposon mutant screen, we identified 92 GAS genes required for wild-type fitness in human saliva. Many of the...
