Understanding the determinants of pathogenicity in Group A streptococcus

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background: Streptococcus pyogenes is an important human pathogen responsible for clinical manifestations ranging from mild superficial infections such as pharyngitis to serious invasive infections such as necrotising fasciitis and sepsis. The drivers of these different disease phenotypes are not known. The M surface protein encoded by the emm gene is used to type GAS isolates and is used as an epidemiological mar...
