Global and local epidemiology of Group A Streptococcus indicates that naturally-acquired immunity is enduring and strain-specific [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The bacterium Group A Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes, GAS) is a human-specific pathogen and a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. Despite decades of research our knowledge of GAS infection and immunity is incomplete, hampering vaccine design and other efforts to reduce disease prevalence.

Protein-protein interactions enhance the thermal resilience of SpyRing enzymes: a molecular dynamic simulation study [PDF]
, 2021 Recently a technique based on the interaction between adhesion proteins extracted from Streptococcus pyogenes, known as SpyRing, has been widely used to improve the thermal resilience of enzymes, the assembly of biostructures, cancer cell recognition and other fields.

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2015 It was gratifying to read that the authors of this commentary[1][1] on group A streptococcus mention the significant rate of colonization versus infection. Surprisingly, this was not mentioned in the related research article.[2][2] This continuing uncertainty, so appropriate in science ...

Group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae)
Microbiology spectrum, 2019 Invasive disease due to group B Streptococcus infection (Streptococcus agalactiae) results in a wide spectrum of clinical disease. In North America, serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, and V are most frequently associated with invasive disease.

Multivariate cluster point process to quantify and explore multi-entity configurations: Application to biofilm image data [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Clusters of similar or dissimilar objects are encountered in many fields. Frequently used approaches treat the central object of each cluster as latent. Yet, often objects of one or more types cluster around objects of another type. Such arrangements are common in biomedical images of cells, in which nearby cell types likely interact.

Streptococcus pneumoniae Capsular Polysaccharide
Microbiology spectrum, 2019 The polysaccharide capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae is the dominant surface structure of the organism and plays a critical role in virulence, principally by interfering with host opsonophagocytic clearance mechanisms.
