The prince and the pauper

EditoriaL 664 Virulence Volume 4 issue 8 It has been known in the community studying the pathogenesis of Streptococcus pyogenes that spontaneous mutation occurs during passages in laboratory media or in animals, so some of the progeny's virulence can be changed, mainly due to the change of the expression of virulence factors. Like other pathogens, S. pyogenes, a strict human pathogen, produces ...

Role for sagA and siaA in quorum sensing and iron regulation in Streptococcus pyogenes.

Streptococcus pyogenes is a ubiquitous and versatile pathogen that causes a variety of infections with a wide range of severity. The versatility of this organism is due in part to its capacity to regulate virulence gene expression in response to the many environments that it encounters during an infection. We analyzed the expression of two potential virulence factors, sagA and siaA (also referr...

A two-component regulatory system, CsrR-CsrS, represses expression of three Streptococcus pyogenes virulence factors, hyaluronic acid capsule, streptolysin S, and pyrogenic exotoxin B.

Certain Tn916 insertions in the chromosome of an M1-type, nonmucoid Streptococcus pyogenes isolate (MGAS166) were previously shown to result in stable mucoidy with increased expression of the capsular synthetic genes. The transposon insertions in these strains are directly upstream of an apparent operon encoding a two-component regulatory system, designated csrR-csrS. Compared with MGAS166, the...

Genetic locus for streptolysin S production by group A streptococcus.

Group A streptococcus (GAS) is an important human pathogen that causes pharyngitis and invasive infections, including necrotizing fasciitis. Streptolysin S (SLS) is the cytolytic factor that creates the zone of beta-hemolysis surrounding GAS colonies grown on blood agar. We recently reported the discovery of a potential genetic determinant involved in SLS production, sagA, encoding a small pept...

Mutational analysis of the group A streptococcal operon encoding streptolysin S and its virulence role in invasive infection.

The pathogen group A Streptococcus (GAS) produces a wide spectrum of infections including necrotizing fasciitis (NF). Streptolysin S (SLS) produces the hallmark beta-haemolytic phenotype produced by GAS. The nine-gene GAS locus (sagA-sagI) resembling a bacteriocin biosynthetic operon is necessary and sufficient for SLS production. Using precise, in-frame allelic exchange mutagenesis and single-...
