Streptococci are often carried on mucosal surfaces and skin without causing disease. Streptococci can cause diseases that range from dental caries to necrotizing fasciitis. The type of disease caused ...

Researchers have found a further reason for the severity of dual infection by influenza and Streptococcus pneumonia -- a new virulence mechanism for a surface protein on the pneumonia-causing bacteria ...

Researchers at the University of California (CA, USA) have uncovered a mechanism that allows Group A Streptococcus (GAS) to avoid immune detection, enhancing bacterial virulence and decreasing ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLoS ONE, researchers in Spain performed a systematic review of pneumolysin (PLY) toxin as a molecular target to develop novel therapeutics against ...
