An insert in the covS gene distinguishes a pharyngeal and a blood isolate of Streptococcus pyogenes found in the same individual
Expression of the extensive arsenal of virulence factors by Streptococcus pyogenes is controlled by many regulators, of which CovRS is one of the best characterized and can influence ∼15 % of the genome. Animal models have established that mutants of covRS arise spontaneously in vivo resulting in hi...
