Novel Genes Required for the Fitness of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus pyogenes</named-content> in Human Saliva

ABSTRACT Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus [GAS]) causes 600 million cases of pharyngitis each year. Despite this considerable disease burden, the molecular mechanisms used by GAS to infect, cause clinical pharyngitis, and persist in the human oropharynx are poorly understood. Saliva is...
