Modelling nasopharyngeal colonisation by Streptococcus pyogenes : bioluminescence and other longitudinal techniques
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pyogenes causes an estimated 616 million pharyngitis cases per year and a variety of invasive diseases such as necrotising fasciitis and toxic shock syndrome. The human nasopharynx is the major reservoir for all S. pyogenes infection, including severe invasive disease. A combination of biophotonic imaging (BPI) and direct nasal sampling techniques were used to longitudinally measure the in vivo carri...
