Role of Glutathione in Buffering Excess Intracellular Copper in <italic toggle="yes">Streptococcus pyogenes</italic>
ABSTRACT Copper (Cu) is an essential metal for bacterial physiology but in excess it is bacteriotoxic. To limit Cu levels in the cytoplasm, most bacteria possess a transcriptionally responsive system for Cu export. In the Gram-positive human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GA...
