Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> - but not <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> -isolates display high rate of internalization and cytotoxicity toward human myoblasts

2019-01-28

Abstract excerpt

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections (NSTIs), often reaching the deep fascia and muscle, are mainly caused by group A Streptococcus (GAS) and to a lesser extent by Staphylococcus aureus (SA). Conversely SA is a leading etiologic agent of pyomyositis suggesting that SA could have a specific tropism for the muscle. To assess the pathogenicity of these two bacterial species for muscles cells in comparison to keratino...
