Host-parasite Factors in Group a Streptococcal Infections
The factors present in streptococcal lesion extracts (SLE) which enhanced the lethal and tissue-damaging properties of Gram-negative bacterial endotoxins and streptolysin O were identified with the scarlet fever group of toxins. Toxic manifestations attributed to this group of toxins included lethality, cardiotoxic and other tissue damage, enhancement of toxicity, and pyrogenicity. Of these, th...
متن کاملHOST-PARASITE FACTORS IN GROUP A STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTIONS* A CO~ARATIVE STImY OF STREPTOCOCCAL PYROGENIC TOXINS AI~rD GRA~- NEGATIVE BACTERIAL ENDOTOXIN BY NATALIE
There are few reports in the literature (1--4) on the pyrogenicity of streptococci or streptococcal filtrates. The most recent detailed investigations on streptococcal pyrogenic activity were reported by Stetson (5) and Watson (6). Stetson reported on the endotoxic activity of Group A streptococci grown in vitro. On the basis of studies with lysates of streptococci disrupted in a Mickle disinte...
متن کاملRole of host genetic factors in susceptibility to group A streptococcal infections.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Epidemiological evidences indicate that host genetic factors might be critical in determining susceptibility to infection with group A streptococci (GAS). The objective of the present study was to determine the extent to which the genetic background of the mouse strain affected induction and resolution of GAS infection. METHODS Several inbred mouse strains were intrave...

1. Know the mode of transmission of group B Streptococcus (GBS) and the peripartum risk factors associated with a high risk of infection. 2. Know the major clinical manifestations of GBS and be able to differentiate the epidemiology and clinical presentation of early onset GBS disease from that of lateonset disease. 3. Know the laboratory testing for GBS: isolation, antigen detection, and susce...
