A Group A Streptococcus ADP-Ribosyltransferase Toxin Stimulates a Protective Interleukin 1β-Dependent Macrophage Immune Response
ABSTRACT The M1T1 clone of group A Streptococcus (GAS) is associated with severe invasive infections, including necrotizing fasciitis and septicemia. During invasive M1T1 GAS disease, mutations in the covRS regulatory system led to upregulation of an ADP-ribosyltransferase, SpyA. Surprisingly, a GAS...
