Their topics include signal transduction of Streptococci by cyclic dinucleotide second messengers, the VicRK two-component system regulation of virulence in Streptococcus mutans, intra-generic and intra-generic interactions of oral Streptococci and their pivotal role in the pathogenesis of oral diseases, the emergence of the hyper-virulent M1T1 clone of group A Streptococcus via genetic recombination and host selection, the adhesion and invasion mechanisms of Streptococci, and developments in the antimicrobial discovery against the major cariogenic pathogen Streptococcus mutans.

Group A streptococcus (GAS) is an exclusive human pathogen causing a wide spectrum of diseases varying from uncomplicated pharyngitis and pyoderma to lethal invasive diseases, such as bacteremia, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, and necrotizing fasciitis.
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) was defined in 1993 as the isolation of group A Streptococcus (GAS) with parameters indicative of multiorgan dysfunction (1).
(4,18) Accordingly, these genetic similarities result in Group A streptococcus and Group G streptococcus sharing similar clinical manifestations, including skin and soft tissue infections, pharyngitis, bacteremia, and toxic shock-like syndrome.
Through identification of increased toxin production by epidemic forms of group A streptococcus (the "flesh-eating" bacterium), scientists for the first time are able to pinpoint the molecular events that contribute to large intercontinental epidemics of disease.
difficile, Group A Streptococcus, Group B Streptococcus, HSV 1&2, and pertussis in the United States, as well as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and malaria outside of the U.S.
It has been estimated that approximately 7 sore throat episodes occur per child per year with 13.5% of these being caused by the Group A Streptococcus. [1] Streptococcus pyogenes is the most common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis.
