Binding of Streptococcus pyogenes to laminin.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1984 Some strains of Streptococcus pyogenes isolated from infected human tissues were shown to bind laminin, a major component of basement membranes. Binding of 125I-laminin to bacteria was time dependent and functionally irreversible. Of several unlabeled proteins tested in competition experiments, laminin and fibrinogen inhibited binding of the ...

The Shift of Bacterial Sensitivity with Antibiotics in Acute Tonsillitis
Journal of Nobel Medical College, 2021 Background: The infection of tonsil may occur primarily or secondarily as a result of upper respiratory tract infection, usually preceded by a viral infection. Bacterial tonsillitis is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes.

Catch Me if You Can: Streptococcus pyogenes Complement Evasion Strategies
Journal of Innate Immunity, 2018 The human host has evolved elaborate protection mechanisms to prevent infection from the billions of microorganisms to which it host is exposed and is home. One of these systems, complement, is an evolutionary ancient arm of innate immunity essential for

Fulminant streptococcus pyogenes infection. [PDF]
BMJ, 1980 Life-threatening infection due to Streptococcus pyogenes (? haemolytic streptococcus, Lancefield's group A) has become uncommon since the introduction of penicillin.1 2 3 Excluding the four cases reported here, the department of bacteriology at this hospital has seen only six cases of Str pyogenes bacteraemia in the past 10 years, and nationally the ...

Streptococcus pyogenes evades adaptive immunity through specific IgG glycan hydrolysis
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2019 EndoS from Streptococcus pyogenes hydrolyzes the functionally important glycan on the Fc portion of IgG during infections in humans. In mice with IgG mediated immunity against the M1 protein on the bacteria, EndoS is a virulence factor.

Pneumococcus and the stress-gradient hypothesis: a trade-off links $R_0$ and susceptibility to co-colonization across countries [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Modern molecular technologies have revolutionized our understanding of bacterial epidemiology, but reported data across different settings remain under-integrated in common theoretical frameworks. Pneumococcus serotype co-colonization, caused by the polymorphic bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae, has been increasingly investigated in recent years. While
