Pathogenesis, epidemiology and control of Group A Streptococcus infection
In this Review, Brouwer et al. summarize recent developments in our understanding of Group A Streptococcus (GAS), focusing on the epidemiologic and clinical features of GAS infection and the molecular mechanisms associated with GAS virulence and drug ...

The Role of Streptococcal Cell-Envelope Proteases in Bacterial Evasion of the Innate Immune System
Bacteria possess the ability to evolve varied and ingenious strategies to outwit the host immune system, instigating an evolutionary arms race. Proteases are amongst the many weapons employed by bacteria, which specifically cleave and neutralize key ...

Modelling the effect of within-host dynamics on the diversity of a multi-strain pathogen [PDF]
Multi-strain pathogens such as Group A Streptococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus cause millions of infections each year with a substantial health burden. Control of multi-strain pathogens can be complicated by the high strain diversity often observed in endemic settings.
