Gene Repertoire Evolution of Streptococcus pyogenes Inferred from Phylogenomic Analysis with Streptococcus canis and Streptococcus dysgalactiae
Streptococcus pyogenes, is an important human pathogen classified within the pyogenic group of streptococci, exclusively adapted to the human host. Our goal was to employ a comparative evolutionary approach to better understand the genomic events concomitant with S. pyogenes human adaptation. As part of ascertaining these events, we sequenced the genome of one of the potential sister species, t...
متن کاملPhage 3396 from a Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis pathovar may have its origins in streptococcus pyogenes.
Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis strains (group G streptococcus [GGS]) are largely defined as commensal organisms, which are closely related to the well-defined human pathogen, the group A streptococcus (GAS). While lateral gene transfers are emerging as a common theme in these species, little is known about the mechanisms and role of these transfers and their effect on the populat...
متن کاملStreptococcus pyogenes ( Group A Streptococcus )
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is synonymous with Streptococcus pyogenes, the only species within this group of β-hemolytic streptococci. GAS is one of the leading pathogenic bacteria that infects children and adolescents, and is associated with a wide spectrum of infections and disease states. Worldwide, there are estimated to be >600 million cases of GAS pharyngitis (“strep throat”) and >100 mil...
متن کاملCutaneous eruption associated with Streptococcus dysgalactiae (group C Streptococcus) bacteremia
GCS: group C Streptococcus URI: upper respiratory tract infection S treptococcus dysgalactiae, a group C Streptococcus (GCS), is a Gram-positive bacterium that is a commensal colonizer of the upper respiratory tract and skin. Initially thought to be nonpathogenic, increasing evidence suggests it is an important bacterial pathogen in humans. It has been implicated in a variety of infections incl...
متن کاملExpression of Recombinant Streptokinase from Streptococcus Pyogenes and Its Reaction with Infected Human and Murine Sera
Objective(s): Streptokinase (SKa) is an antigenic protein which is secreted by Streptococcus pyogenes. Streptokinase induces inflammation by complement activation, which may play a role in post infectious diseases. In the present study, recombinant streptokinase from S. pyogenes was produced and showed that recombinant SKa protein was recognized by infected human sera using Western blot analy...
