Volatile scents of influenza A and S. pyogenes (co-)infected cells. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractInfluenza A is a serious pathogen itself, but often leads to dangerous co-infections in combination with bacterial species such asStreptococcus pyogenes. In comparison to classical biochemical methods, analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in headspace above cultures can enable destruction free monitoring of metabolic processesin vitro.

From Infection to Autoimmunity: <i>S. pyogenes</i> as a Model Pathogen. [PDF]
MicroorganismsGroup A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GAS) is a Gram-positive, coccoid-shaped bacterium that tends to grow in chains; it is a non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, catalase-negative, aerobic bacterium. It is known to cause a wide range of infections in children, ranging from mild upper respiratory tract infections, such as pharyngitis, to severe ...

Ovarian necrosis due to S. pyogenes septic thrombophlebitis: A case report. [PDF]
Case Rep Womens Health, 2018 The incidence of systemic infection attributed to group A streptococci (GAS) is increasing, mainly in postpartum women. Such infections require multidisciplinary management and prompt treatment, but an atypical presentation can delay diagnosis. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department for evaluation.

Therapeutic Effect of Bee Venom and Melittin on Skin Infection Caused by Streptococcus pyogenes
Toxins, 2022 Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes) bacteria cause almost all primary skin infections in humans. Bee venom (BV) and melittin (Mel) have multiple effects, including antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities.

Extensive diversity of Streptococcus pyogenes in a remote human population reflects global-scale transmission rather than localised diversification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The Indigenous population of the Northern Territory of Australia (NT) suffers from a very high burden of Streptococcus pyogenes disease, including cardiac and renal sequelae. The aim of this study was to determine if S.

Insertional inactivation of streptolysin S expression in Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1983 The inactivation of a genetic determinant critical for streptolysin S production was accomplished by transfer and insertion of the transposon Tn916 into the DNA of a group A streptococcal strain. The group D strain CG110 was able to efficiently transfer Tn916 into the group A strain CS91 when donor and recipient cells were concentrated and incubated ...
