Streptococcus pyogenes infects an estimated 18.1 million people worldwide and causes in 500,000 deaths each year. It causes both invasive and non-invasive diseases, such as pharyngitis, scarlet fever, impetigo, cellulitis, type II necrotizing fasciitis, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, acute rheumatic fever and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Several antibiotic resistance strains have emerged.
- Research
Streptococcus pyogenes is a Gram-positive, aerotolerant bacteria. It is non-motile and non-spore forming. It has the ability to form biofilms. The CRISPR-Cas system was discovered in this bacteria and lead to the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for its discovery.
