Pathogenesis of Hypervirulent Group A Streptococcus [PDF]
Japan Journal of Medicine, 2018 Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes common pharyngitis and skin infections and occasional severe invasive infections. This review describes the recent progress on the pathogenesis of hypervirulent GAS. CovRS mutations are frequent among invasive GAS isolates and lead to hypervirulence. GAS CovRS mutants can be selected in vivo by neutrophils.
