M-like proteins of Streptococcus dysgalactiae.
Streptococcus dysgalactiae is one of the most important bacterial species isolated from bovine mastitis. To identify potential virulence factors of this species we prepared chromosomal DNA from strain 8215 and constructed a phage display library. By affinity selection of the library against fibrinogen (Fg), we isolated and characterized a gene, called demA, encoding a protein with the molecular...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of Streptococcus dysgalactiae 15 BOVINE S PROTEIN (VITRONECTIN) INCREASES PHAGOCYTOSIS OF STREPTOCOCCUS DYSGALACTIAE
The effects of bovine S protein (vitronectin) on phagocytosis of Streptococcus dysgalactiae strains isolated from cattle with mastitis were investigated. Phagocytized streptococci were determined by a fluorometric microassay using glass adherent polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). Preincubation of S. dysgalactiae with bovine S protein significantly increased their phagocytosis by PMN. Bovine S...
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 کاملStreptococcus dysgalactiae endocarditis presenting as acute endophthalmitis
Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare ocular infection affecting the vitreous and/or aqueous humours. It is associated with poor visual prognosis and its commonest endogenous aetiology is infective endocarditis. The causative organisms of endogenous endophthalmitis complicating endocarditis are mainly Group A or B streptococci. The identification of Group C and G streptococci such as Streptococc...
متن کاملGene 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...
