Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]), a major human-specific pathogen, relies on efficient nutrient acquisition for successful infection within its host. The phosphotransferase system (PTS) couples the import of carbohydrates with their phosphorylation prior to metabolism and has been linked to GAS pathogenesis. In a screen of an insertional mutant library of all 14 annotated PTS permease (EIIC)...
