Streptococcus pyogenes, a human-restricted pathogen, accounts for substantial mortality
related to infections worldwide. Recent studies indicate that streptococci produce and …

Bacteria and fungi are masters of communication. They engage in constant information
transfer with their neighbors, competitors and hosts. This elaborate 'social networking'is …

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major human pathogen. It is a common
colonizer of the human respiratory track, where it utilizes cell–cell communication systems to …

The genus Streptococcus encompasses many bacterial species that are associated with
hosts, ranging from asymptomatic colonizers and commensals to pathogens with a …

The human‐restricted pathogen S treptococcus pyogenes (G roup AS treptococcus, GAS) is
responsible for wide‐ranging pathologies at numerous sites in the body but has the …

Rggs are a group of transcriptional regulators with diverse roles in metabolism and
virulence. Here, we present work on the Rgg1518/SHP1518 quorum sensing system of …

Streptococcus mitis is found in the oral cavity and nasopharynx and forms a significant
portion of the human microbiome. In this study, in silico analyses indicated the presence of …

Daily PrEP is highly effective at preventing HIV-1 acquisition, but risks of long-term tenofovir
disoproxil fumarate plus emtricitabine (TDF-FTC) include renal decline and bone mineral …

Background: It has been proposed that GAS may form biofilms. Biofilms are microbial
communities that aggregate on a surface, and exist within a self-produced matrix of …

Molecular biology has enhanced our understanding of the intricate balance of host–
