The Influence of Bacteriophage on Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1955
By the selective action of certain bacteriophages on cultures of susceptible streptococci it is possible to alter or enhance certain of their characteristics. The extractable M antigen may be greatly increased; non-mucoid strains may become completely mucoid with or without the increase in M antigen.

Increased Pediatric Head and Neck Abscesses Following the COVID‐19 Pandemic

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on pediatric head and neck abscesses at two tertiary care centers. Overall head and neck abscess incidence increased more than threefold in the post‐pandemic period compared with the pre‐pandemic period, with increases observed across all major abscess subtypes.

Inter-species gene flow drives ongoing evolution of Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis [PDF]

Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) is an emerging cause of human infection with invasive disease incidence and clinical manifestations comparable to the closely related species, Streptococcus pyogenes.

ApuA, a multifunctional x-glucan-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus suis, mediates adhesion to porcine epithelium and mucus [PDF]

, 2010
We have identified apuA in Streptococcus suis, which encodes a bifunctional amylopullulanase with conserved -amylase and pullulanase substrate-binding domains and catalytic motifs.

Streptococcus pyogenes-purpura fulminans as an invasive form of group A streptococcal infection

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2018
Background Streptococcus pyogenes is an uncommon pathogen of purpura fulminans, and the pathogenesis of S. pyogenes-purpura fulminans remains unclear because of paucity of cases. We reported a pediatric case of S.

Prime editing in neuropsychiatric disorders: From mutation‐specific target selection to clinical translation

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Prime editing, a novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)‐based technology, fuses a reverse transcriptase (RT) to an engineered CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9) and uses a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA)‐encoded template.

Impact of Gentamicin‐Impregnated Collagen Sponge on the Incidence of Access Related Infections After Full‐Support Microaxial Flow Pump Therapy

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Local application of gentamicin for wound closure after full‐support microaxial flow pump therapy. ABSTRACT Background Surgically implanted microaxial flow pumps (mAFP) are increasingly used for cardiogenic shock treatment. Standard mAFP explantation is performed bedside with a shortening of the vascular prosthesis, which may represent a potential ...

Conserved and specific features of Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae transcriptional landscapes

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A Streptococcus, is responsible for mild infections to life-threatening diseases. To facilitate the characterization of regulatory networks involved in the adaptation of this pathogen to its ...
