Streptococcus anginosus orchestrates antibacterial potential of NETs facilitating survival of accompanying pathogens
31 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus anginosus is considered an emerging opportunistic pathogen causing life-threatening infections, including abscesses and empyema. Noticeably, clinical data revealed that S. anginosus also constitutes an important component of polymicrobial infections. Here, we showed for the first time that S. anginosus inactivates the antibacterial potential of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). The process is...
