Serological Profiling of Group A Streptococcus Infections in Acute Rheumatic Fever.
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2021Rheumatic fever is a serious post-infectious sequela of Group A Streptococcus (GAS). Prior GAS exposures were mapped in sera using a large panel of M-type specific peptides.

Group A streptococci (GAS) are gram positive cocci that can be divided into more than 100 M-serotypes or emm types based on their M proteins. Their virulence is related directly to the M protein on the cell surface that inhibits phagocytosis. Although it is more commonly thought of in the context of causing clinical illness, Streptococcus pyogenes can ...

Transduction in Group A streptococcus
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1968Abstract Transduction, a phage mediated genetic transfer, has been reported to occur in several species of bacteria ( Hartman and Goodgal, 1959 ; Thorne, 1962 ; Allen et , al. , 1963 ). This report presents evidence for the transduction to streptomycin resistance of Group A streptococcus by several phages.

Streptococcus castoreus, an uncommon group A Streptococcus in beavers
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2019Streptococcus castoreus is a rarely encountered beta-haemolytic group A Streptococcus with high tropism for the beaver as host. Based on 27 field isolates under study, evidence strongly suggests that S. castoreus behaves as an opportunistic pathogen in beavers.

Group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae)
2018Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of early neonatal infection and neonatal mortality, with long-term adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in up to 50% of survivors of GBS meningitis. GBS has a likely underappreciated role in causing preterm birth and stillbirth.

Over the past 25 years group B streptococci have become established as one of the main bacterial pathogens of the neonate in Western Europe and the United States. The attack rate of 0.25/1,000 live births found by Mayon White in Great Britain1 appears typical of many European countries.

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1980
Three patients with serious infections due to beta hemolytic streptococci, Lancefield group G are presented. The clinical syndromes are septicemia with possible endocarditis in a patient with laryngeal carcinoma, septic arthritis in a healthy boy and endocariditis in an adult with no previous underlying valvular disease.

The Lancet, 1999
During the 1990s the focus of group B streptococcus (GBS) disease research has shifted to prevention. Increased use of intrapartum antimicrobial prophylaxis in North America and Australia has led to substantial declines in perinatal disease. Vaccine development (initiated two decades earlier) has yielded results--for example, polysaccharide-protein ...

An “outbreak” of group A Streptococcus
American Journal of Infection Control, 2005BACKGROUND: Group A Streptococcus (GAS) outbreaks rarely occur, with Pennsylvania reporting 532 non-related cases of invasive GAS between 2000 and 2003. Three fatal cases of invasive GAS that were presumed to be epidemiologically linked were identified in two geographically related but competing hospitals.
