Novel genes required for the fitness of <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> in human saliva

2017-10-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus , or GAS) causes 600 million cases of pharyngitis each year. Despite this considerable disease burden, the molecular mechanisms used by GAS to infect, cause clinical pharyngitis, and persist in the human oropharynx are poorly understood. Saliva is ubiquitous in the human oropharynx and is the first material GAS encounters in the upper respiratory tr...
