Human Keratinocyte Entry of Noninvasive Streptococcus dysgalactiae Subsp. equisimilis from Humans and Companion Animals: Relatedness with Lancefield Group, Source, Virulence-Associated Genes, and Antimicrobial Resistance Phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

We evaluated the cell invasion ability (CIA) of non-invasive Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis using human keratinocytes and determined the association of CIA populations with their hosts and microbiological traits. Forty-two isolates from humans and companion animals were selected with host information. In addition to CIA, virulence-associated gene (VAG,...
