Streptococcus pyogenes meningitis
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2004Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a rare cause of meningitis. Although it has a high mortality, the condition is easily treatable if diagnosed early since the bacteria retains its sensitivity to many antimicrobials. The authors report here two cases of GAS meningitis along with a review of world literature.

Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A streptococcus (GAS), is most commonly associated with mild, self-resolving infections of the skin and oropharynx. However, dissemination of the bacteria to normally sterile sites within the body can lead to a variety of invasive conditions that are associated with high morbidity and mortality.

New understandings in Streptococcus pyogenes
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2011A resurgence of invasive group A streptococcal infections highlights the need for better knowledge of streptococcal biology. This review summarizes the recent advances in our understanding of the field.Invasive group A streptococcal infections cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Intertrigo Caused by Streptococcus pyogenes
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2017Well-demarcated, beefy-red lesions of the skin folds, without satellite lesions, are the clinical hallmarks of intertrigo, frequently misdiagnosed especially in young children. We present 6 cases of streptococcal intertrigo to draw attention to this easily diagnosed and treated, but frequently overlooked, infection.

Streptococcus pyogenes Bacteraemia
1997The incidence of serious Strep, pyogenes bacteraemia declined considerably since the early part of this century(1), but in recent years there has been a resurgence, with attention focused on severe manifestations such as streptococcal toxic shock and necrotising fasciitis.

Suppurative Thrombophlebitis Caused By Streptococcus Pyogenes
Acta Clinica Belgica, 1972SummaryA case of opportunistic infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes is reported. The risk of indwelling catheters and the significance of lhe streptococcal nature of the skin lesions in this case are discussed.

Pili of Streptococcus pyogenes.
2014AbstractStreptococcus pyogenes, also called group A streptococcus (GAS), is one of the most common human pathogens. Although different GAS strains encode serologically different types of pili, and their structure and assembly differs, all GAS strains have their proteins necessary for synthesis and assembly of pili encoded in a single locus.

Streptococcus pyogenes flexor tenosynovitis
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume)We describe a case of Group A streptococcal infection originally presenting as flexor tenosynovitis. Group A Streptococcus outbreaks have been recently described in developed countries, which constitutes an epidemiological shift that hand surgeons should be aware of.

Transition Metal Homeostasis in Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae
2017Trace metals such as Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu are essential for various biological functions including proper innate immune function. The host immune system has complicated and coordinated mechanisms in place to either starve and/or overload invading pathogens with various metals to combat the infection. Here, we discuss the roles of Fe, Mn and Zn in terms of
