Molecular mechanism of quorum sensing inhibition in <i>Streptococcus</i> by the phage protein paratox

2021-06-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Streptococcus pyogenes , or Group A Streptococcus, is a Gram-positive bacterium that can be both a human commensal and pathogen. Central to this dichotomy are temperate bacteriophages that incorporate into the bacterial genome as a prophage. These genetic elements encode both the phage proteins as well as toxins harmful to the human host. One such conserved phage protein paratox (Prx) is always...
