ABSTRACT In the presence of molecular oxygen, the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae produces and secretes large amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which can readily interact with free and heme-bound iron. Here, we investigated the role of the

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a major pathogen that causes simple and invasive infections. GAS requires iron for metabolic processes and pathogenesis, and heme is its preferred iron source. We previously described the iron-regulated hupZ in GAS, sho

ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae and other streptococci produce a greenish halo on blood agar plates referred to as alpha-hemolysis. This phenotype is utilized by clinical microbiology laboratories to report culture findings of alpha-hemolytic strep

The rapid and persistent emergence of drug-resistant bacteria poses a looming public health crisis. The possible task of developing new sets of antibiotics to replenish the existing ones is daunting to say the least. Searching for adjuvants that rest

ABSTRACT Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus [GAS]) is a serious human pathogen with the ability to colonize mucosal surfaces such as the nasopharynx and vaginal tract, often leading to infections such as pharyngitis and vulvovaginitis. We

Iron is an essential nutrient for many bacteria. Since the metal is highly sequestered in host tissues, bound predominantly to heme, pathogenic bacteria often take advantage of heme uptake and degradation mechanisms to acquire iron during infection.

Background A vaccine against group A Streptococcus (GAS) has been actively pursued for decades. The surface receptor Shr is vital in GAS heme uptake and provides an effective target for active and passive immunization. Here, we isolated human monoclo

Streptococcus pneumoniae grows in biofilms during both asymptomatic colonization and infection. Pneumococcal biofilms on abiotic surfaces exhibit delayed growth and lower biomass and lack the structures seen on epithelial cells or during nasopharynge
