Viable Group A Streptococci In Macrophages During Acute Soft Tissue Infection
Category: Infectious Diseases/Bacteria/Viruses News
Article Date: 17 Jan 2006 - 19:00pm (UK)
This study shows that that group A streptococci survive intracellularly in macrophages during acute invasive infections; the streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin SpeB may have a role in this survival.
