A new study published in Nature Communications reveals a novel approach to mitigating tissue damage caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, the flesh-eating bacterium responsible for severe infections such ...

Strep throat, something we've all had at some point in our lives, is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes. Infection by Streptococcus can be fatal in serious cases and is the leading cause of ...

A group of researchers led by The University of Osaka have identified a novel genetic mutation in Streptococcus pyogenes, a common bacterium which causes strep throat, significantly associated with ...

Breakthrough research has found that Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections are more likely transmitted from asymptomatic throat carriage than skin-to-skin contact in communities with high rates of ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers examined the dynamic interplay between human stimulator of interferon genes (STING) genotype and bacterial nicotinamide adenine ...

A common culprit of "flesh-eating disease" is Streptococcus pyogenes, which can also cause strep throat and milder skin infections called impetigo. (iStock / Getty Images Plus) Flesh-eating bacteria ...

Calling it "flesh-eating bacteria" is technically inaccurate, but the nickname helps to describe what it does: it destroys tissue so quickly that limbs have to be amputated within hours. The popular ...
